Henry had a way about him and the largest, nonjudgmental heart I've ever encountered. He truly was a blessing to this earth and will be missed.
I remember meeting Lee for the first time at a Sigma Tau Gamma rush event and we instantly knew that we shared a lot of the same passions. Right after the event, I joined and Lee became my brother forever! I'll never forget the passion he always had for our fraternity. More importantly, I'll never forget the love he had for his Sig Tau brothers, the Sig Tau sweethearts, and anyone else that were in any of our lives! From cleaning up highways (Adopt-A-Highway), partying, having serious conversations, or just crying (good and bad tears) on each others shoulders, I made many great memories at Marshall University with this great man!
Most of all, Lee had a passion and a love for people! He was such a loving person and was always there for anyone that needed him! This world is going to miss the smart, loving, kind, caring, passionate, and non-judgmental person that you were! You will forever be missed and loved dear friend! May God bless your family with peace and love!
Lee, known to many as Henry, was truly a sensitive soul with an incredibly big heart. He had a unique ability to feel deeply and connect with those around him, offering kindness and compassion at every turn. Unfortunately, there are times when our hearts can feel too expansive for the world we live in, allowing us to absorb the weight of its struggles and pain. It can become overwhelming, leaving us feeling as if there's no escape from the heaviness we carry.
I am heartbroken that this happened to him, and my thoughts are with everyone who knew and loved him. His absence will be felt deeply, not just by the people in his life, but by the dogs and animals of the world who also knew his gentle spirit. They will miss his warmth and affection, just as we all will. It's a profound loss that resonates beyond words, and my heart aches for the void he leaves behind.
Patrick, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I hope to meet you so we can share all the magic that he was!!
I worked with Henry for many year. He was a special person who cared so much for his work and the people he served. He was a fearless advocate, and though most of our interactions were in a professional setting, I would most definitely consider him a friend. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Henry was an admirable and engaging friend and colleague. Rest in peace!
Lee was one of the first people I met when we started college together at Marshall. We were both in the marching band and became instant and fast friends. I was with him and his Sigma Tau Gamma brothers at numerous parties and events throughout college. We worked together on Marshall's Student Government and I worked with him at the Marshall Cafe. He gave the best hugs and would always put a smile on my face. I moved to SC after college and sadly we drifted apart, but he will always hold a special place in my heart and so many memories that we shared. I will miss my "Hugging Buddy"!
Lee was my boyfriend/partner/fiancé. He was the love of my life I was beginning to build a future with and I am feeling blessed having loved and known such a beautiful creature. He was a man of the Earth...lover of all things nature. I swear he had a magical energy that kept plants thriving. He loved animals more than people. He was so talented with music, as well. He carried himself with his heart on his sleeve and humbled me a lot. He will forever be a part of me
