Obituary for Greg Henson
Greg Henson, 33, of Princeton, IN formerly of Mount Carmel, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at his residence.
He was born on August 16, 1982 in Dallas, TX the son of Gary L. “Fuzz” Henson and Julie (Sparks) Henson. Growing up Greg was his father’s son and thought the world of his dad. He was a 2001 graduate of Mount Carmel High School. Greg was proud of his work at Windsor Machine & Stamping in Princeton, IN.
Greg was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend to all. He never knew a stranger and will always be remembered for his caring spirit and his ability to always see the good in people. Greg was never seen without a smile and never left without a hug. He treasured life and lived it to the fullest. Greg was a proud uncle and lived for his nieces and nephews. He was a huge sport fan always cheering on the Mount Carmel Golden Aces in football, the Texas Longhorns and University of Kentucky basketball. Greg touched the lives of many and will be missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his mother, Julie Henson of Mount Carmel; sisters; Shanna Henson of Mount Carmel, Mary (Micah) North of Dallas, TX and Jennifer Watson of Mount Carmel; step mother, Sharon Henson of Mount Carmel; lifelong friend who Greg thought of as more than a brother, Tyler (Ashley) Kirkman of Santa Claus, IN; nieces and nephews, Avary Daum, Mataio Militoni, Lily and Conner Kirkman, Sadie Wright, RJ and Leah North; several aunts, uncles and cousins.
