It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Henry Thomas Krause on April 20, 2023. Born on April 7, 1999, he was 24 years old. Beloved son of Mark and Barbara (James Walters) Krause; Loving brother of Trevor Krause, Jessica (John) Kohler, Jody (Kristen) Walters, Jessica Walters and Jake Walters; Loving Soulmate of Talia Schaffrath, Grandson of Martha Williams (John Spurgeon, deceased), Godson of Davida Williams and Kevin Ivers, predeceased by grandparents Karl (Erika) Krause and great grandparents Rose (Henry) Williams; Nephew and Cousin to many loving family members.
Henry was an outdoor enthusiast and landscape artist who loved gardening, camping, fishing, BMX biking, skateboarding, watching and attending sporting events including the Chicago Bulls, Wolves and Blackhawks along with a fierce passion and desire for baking. He cherished the many friendships he had and would go above and beyond for anyone he knew with compassion and loyalty. His big heart, contagious friendly demeanor, laughter and beautiful smile would light up the room. He made friends throughout every facet of his short life. Being around him was a joy as he was always looking for the next adventure and new experience.
Henry was a courageous and brave epilepsy warrior, spending the last years of his life fighting and maintaining his standard of living. The support from his soulmate Talia was invaluable as he learned to navigate and research this debilitating illness that would take his life. We know that he is free from pain and will continue his legacy as a guardian angel watching over all of us.
Friends and family will gather for a memorial visitation for Henry that will be held Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023 from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 7750 West Cermak Road, Forest Park, Illinois 60130, with a prayer service at 5:00 PM.
