You may have known Henry as “Maghik”, he called himself Maghik in his own way because everything he did was magic. Henry made your day with a simple joke he cracked or with just a smile on his face. One thing Henry loved to do was pick up a pen and piece of paper, that man could’ve wrote such a deep and meaningful poem or rap his life into those lyrics. To his family he was a lyrical genius, everything he wrote touched the heart, he could tell you about his whole life in one verse. Henry had big dreams and without a doubt his family were his first fans. Henry loved basketball, since a teenager he always had a ball in his hands ready to hit the court.  Once his nieces got older, he tagged them along with him. Family time was everything to Henry.  He loved his two sons Julian and Ivan more than anything, and to him those were “Daddy’s boys”.   Henry always said they were his legacy and he sure was right.  One thing that man loved was fashion, he wouldn’t step outside in pajamas ever, he always looked his best every single time.  One thing you could’ve always said about Henry was that he was a very respectful man to every woman.  Henry loved with everything in him, he had the sweetest soul and was loved by so many. Henry adored his mother and siblings. Sugeiry was a mother figure to him and an older sister. Henry could always count on his sister for anything. Henry always had a love in his life named Denise. Henry and Denise were like peanut butter and jelly since 16 years old, became best friends at the age 11, and he knew he wanted to marry her and always dreamed of a family. Henry accomplished part of his dream and had two beautiful boys with the love of his life. His name and legacy will forever live on.

A visitation for family and friends will take place on Saturday, June 4th, 2022, from 3 to 5pm at the Oravitz Home for Funerals Inc, 40 N. Jardin St, Shenandoah.

Es posible que hayas conocido a Henry como "Maghik", se llamaba a sí mismo Maghik a su manera porque todo lo que hacía era magia. Henry hizo tu día con una simple broma que hizo o con solo una sonrisa en su rostro. Una cosa que a Henry le encantaba hacer era tomar un bolígrafo y un pedazo de papel, ese hombre podría haber escrito un poema tan profundo y significativo o rapear su vida en esas letras. Para su familia era un genio lírico, todo lo que escribía tocaba el corazón, podía contarte toda su vida en un solo verso. Henry tenía grandes sueños y sin duda su familia fueron sus primeros fans. Henry amaba el baloncesto, desde adolescente siempre tenía una pelota en sus manos lista para golpear la cancha. Una vez que sus sobrinas crecieron, las etiquetó junto con él. El tiempo en familia lo era todo para Henry. Amaba a sus dos hijos Julián e Iván más que nada, y para él eran "los niños de papá". Henry siempre dijo que eran su legado y seguro que tenía razón. Una cosa que al hombre le encantaba era la moda, no salía en pijama nunca, siempre se veía lo mejor posible cada vez. Una cosa que siempre se podría haber dicho sobre Henry era que era un hombre muy respetuoso con todas las mujeres. Enrique amaba con todo en él, tenía el alma más dulce y era amado por muchos. Henry adoraba a su madre y hermanos. Sugeiry era una figura materna para él y una hermana mayor. Henry siempre podía contar con su hermana para cualquier cosa. Henry siempre tuvo un amor en su vida llamado Denise. Henry y Denise eran como mantequilla de maní y jalea desde los 16 años, se hicieron mejores amigos a los 11 años, y él sabía que quería casarse con ella y siempre soñó con una familia. Henry cumplió parte de su sueño y tuvo dos hermosos hijos con el amor de su vida. Su nombre y legado vivirán para siempre.
