David Leroy Henry, 72, of Mountain View, Missouri, passed away at his home on Saturday, April 4, 2026, surrounded by the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Born on June 20, 1953, in Prosser, Washington, David lived a life defined by his hardworking nature, kindness, quiet demeanor, and subtle sense of humor. He was a devoted father, grandfather, son, brother, and uncle, and his presence brought comfort and joy to those who knew him.
David spent much of his working years employed at Angelica and Jasper, where he was respected for his strong work ethic, reliability, and dedication. Outside of work, he especially enjoyed working outdoors and fishing, often spending time with friends at local streams and lakes.
