A year ago today was your memorial service, so many loved ones gathered in remembrance of your beautiful soul, Henry. I love and miss you so much every day. I will never forget how lovely the all flowers were. Keep us protected and don’t ever stop showing the signs that you are still here with us. Much love 💙

Henry.  You left us a Year ago today.  But You Remain in Memory and Spirit.   Jess and John are Making You an Uncle.   But We all know You are watching over That with Your Blessings.   We Miss You.   Dad

My love and prayers to the Krause Family in the difficult time ahead. 

One of my earliest memories and pictures of Henry was in Chicago for Bears family night. We spent the day throwing around the football, cooking out and having many laughs!  
I will always remember how respectful and kind he was. 
Your life was taken too soon, but the memories you left were vast. 
RIP Henry… FLY HIGH… you will be missed. 

Barb and family, I pray that God will give you all comfort. Prayers that he will be with you all in the weeks months days and years ahead.
When I first meet Henry he was the sweetest little boy then T-ball came with Alex . I remember all the times they ran to third instead of first such wonderful times with all the kids. We are praying everyday for all of you.

Henry, you helped plant this peach tree on Easter Sunday with Trevor, John and his brothers. To see you all working together brought such warmth to my heart. I will think of you every time I look at it.

The last two weeks I have said so much to you and I hope you’ve been listening.

I will forever be grateful I had one last drive with you, I only wish I could’ve thrown you the keys and let you drive. I know you’re driving now, free to do what you want.

Your Loving Sister Jess 😘💜



So very sorry for your loss. Henry was only in my life for a little while. Very young 3year old preschool. He was such a joy to have with us after school! Prayers to the whole family.

I was talking to Shannon tonight. She asked me to search for this picture. Shannon remembers playing games on the computer with Henry. They had so much fun together. 

I am so very sorry to hear about “little” Henry’s sudden, tragic death.     A particularly special memory I have of Henry is when his great-aunt Davida and I attended his Kindergarten graduation. What sweetness he exuded…a character trait he retained throughout his all-too-brief life ( per Davida’s  many loving stories about her interactions with him over the years ).  May all  family members and friends feel joy in recalling their many good memories of sweet Henry.  

This is the first time I met you Henry. What a Wonderful memory! Every April 7th I have always thought of you. Henry you will be so missed. xo

Henry, although I had only known you for a brief period I got to see what a kind and warm hearted, loving and caring person you were. I will always remember how you would call Jessica on FaceTime just to say hi and see what we were doing. She loved when you would call. Your life was cut far too short and you had much more to offer. I know you are flying high now and watching over everyone. You will always be in our hearts. We love you. Rest easy my brother❤️

Mom says this was the first time my sister and I met Henry, just a week or so after he was born. We had a lot of fun growing up together. 

Henry,
I met you as a young boy through camping, I've watched you grow over the years.  A young life taken much too soon, so much more life to live.  You will be missed, but you left so many memories to be remembered by in the short time you had here on this earth.  May you rest in paradise Henry.  Watch over your family as their angel and keep them safe,  you will be missed...


  I have fond memories of Henry when he was a  child  he was such sweet kid. I understand he over came so much. He will always have special place in my heart for Henry.  I'm so sorry for Henry's family and friends loss.   Love Carol Voss

What a joy it was to introduce baby Henry in our Teaching Video for foster parents & caseworkers about newborn assessments. Thanks to his proud Mom, Barbie, and of course his Auntie Davida,  who so generously facilitated his first performance for the University of Illinois doctor.  Think of all the hundreds of people who took their lessons from this charming baby & his mom. 
We will always love and remember you.

My sweet angel lovebug Henry 💜 everywhere I look, I'm reminded and comforted by the love we had for one another. Your beautiful spirit and sense of adventure, your kind and compassionate soul, your eagerness to learn new skills. 
I will miss our daily shopping, cooking and conversations. You were developing into an extraordinary man and I was so very proud of you.

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."

Always and forever...love Mommy

When I met the extended Williams clan for the first time (Thanksgiving), I remember sitting on the couch in Woodstock, holding baby Henry while he slept. He was 5 months old and was wearing a white onsie. We sat there for about an hour. It was the best welcome to the family <3

We all grieve his premature departure from this world. My love and condolences.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending many prayers and hugs. 

Hand made with love by yours truly. You always were so supportive of me and my little art projects I’d do. I’ve spent any down time I’ve had in preparation for the memorial working on these while watching your favorite tv show, The Sopranos, or listening to music that reminds me of you. These are to share, for anyone who attends the service that would like to support you and the condition you had to spread awareness. We will wear them on our left side, above our hearts. 
Love always, 
Talia 

Henry, was a young spirited man who was such a sweet,kind person who you couldn't help but love. He was like my little brother growing up and I am glad he is no longer suffering but sad to see him leave. I remember all the good times, sad, funny and goofing off times. I will cherrish those memories in my heart forever as well as Henry.  I love you and always will. Love, Vicky 

I had the privilege of working with Henry at Mcadam Landscaping.  I had his name mentioned at our Mass this weekend.  Here is the video of when his name was mentioned. 

May He Rest in Peace and may his family find comfort and strength during this difficult time. 

Henry, 
Thank you for being so loving, supportive and not only a best friend to Talia but also a devoted and caring boyfriend. My daughter adores you,  and cherishes the many years you had together. She will always have you in her heart. You grew up together, helped each other overcome challenging times and medical issues over the years.  The love and strength you have blessed Talia with I will be forever grateful. We will miss you more than you'll ever know,  but feel comfort in the thought that you are now free from pain and will be with us in every flower, garden and tree we plant. 
The gift of peace and so many memories you have given Talia has helped our broken hearts and always will.  
You left us too soon, but we know you have been here everyday since 4/20 with the many unbelievable signs you have shown us! 

Thinking of you everyday. Love you always,  Elisabeth xxoo


I love this picture so much. It makes me smile but also cry.  
Not one, but two Guardian Angels for my Talia Angelina xxoo

Such a special visit to Michigan with his cousins and Aunt Mary. Took this picture at Oval Beach. I always thought it reflected Henry’s soul and spirit. ❤️
With affection Paulette.

Henry, 
Teema found our scores sheets from The Game of Life that we played during our spring breaks in Michigan with Trevor & Jessica. After Trevor decided whether my meat loaf or Teema's won the meat loaf contest, we got to share your birthday cake 🎂 Our spring birthday boy climbed the trees on our Oval Beach ⛱️ dune walks & raced down the sandy hills. Then we'd go to the dollhouse store in Holland to splurge on fun furniture to redecorate our big dollhouse at my 🏠 on Highland.
Just a few of our countless happy memories with you...
To console myself on the night you died, I pictured you dancing with Grammie Rose & Auntie Paula. I know they were waiting at the foot of your bed to welcome 🙏 you. 
I love you so much 💗

I love you with all my ❤️

Henry, 1 week ago today was a day none of us couldn't even imagine that would happen. The world lost a great man, great friend, and great family man. Even though we were only friends for the last 6 years, you meant the world to your family, your girlfriend, your friends and too myself. You had such a big heart to the people you loved and you would always be there for everyone. I will miss our hangouts, snapchats, all the mobster movies and TV shows we watched and especially you kicking my butt in all the Pool games we would play.  Please look over each and every one of us as our guardian angel. You will be missed my friend! 🙏  👼 ❤️

Henry was a Natural and Loved Fishing.  This Trip We hit a Musky lake.   I decided to get Dinner Ready. Henry went back out alone. People were on the lake for days Musky Hunting.   Leave it To Henry to Land a Musky.  I could see the commotion from the Cabin as He was surrounded by boats and Jealous Fishermen. He comes back to Shore eyes all wide telling Me and Showing how He landed a Musky.      That’s My Boy!!!

Henry, i remember meeting you for the first time at ascension in 6th grade. I was like “who’s this new little guy.” Then we figured out we were both from Berwyn and only lived a few blocks away from each other. We pretty much became best friends. All those times we got into trouble and all those laughs. All those memories we made I’ll never forget them. Rip Henry🕊Love and miss you buddy💙

I will miss you a lot Henry. The most important thing is you were a real friend to everyone you met. I will miss our calls and snapchat photos. I will always remember you and cherish our friendship. Your spirit will live on in remembrance of all your friends and family. I hope you will watch over us and guide us. I love you Henry and thanks for being a great friend.

Henry, 
Summer of 2020 was when we became close. You were like a little brother to me. Always making sure you stayed out of trouble. You were such a good kid. You made Talia so incredibly happy. You will be missed beyond words. Thanks for always being there for me, even if we drifted apart. Thank you for always having my back. I’ll never forget you. - Lucy 

I cannot begin to express the sorrow I feel.  My prayers are with Barb and all of Henry's family and friends.  As a mother I cannot understand why the Lord would take a child.  As a Christian, I try to be comforted with the knowledge that Henry is with our Father.  And although I know, that seems like little comfort when our hearts are breaking, it is what I cling to at these darkest moments.  I pray that all of Henry's loved ones can feel God's presence among them during this very difficult time.  With sincere condolences Lance and Mary Tortorici

Henry and I grew up together from young kids into young adults. I know that Henry grew into a brave, strong man. He cared about his family, girlfriend Talia and friends so much.

I love and miss you Henry so much. I will always remember the good times we had together. Love,Christian

One of the best vacations, Henry was 8 years old  and caught this Northern Pike. It was one inch off the lake record. Also, he  caught it off a paddle boat.

I love you. I will never leave you. Rest easy henry. I pray only for you to be at peace.

Henry, Trace & I grew up together throughout our years at Conant Highschool. There was never a dull moment; Trace & Henry were always cracking jokes, going on adventures & making everyone around them smile. I remember on multiple occasions rolling on the floor laughing just listening to them two going back & forth. We will always remember Henry & carry him with us wherever we go. He was an amazing, loyal friend to us & to his beautiful girlfriend, Talia. 

We will never forget you Henry.

Love, 
Trace & Rachel 

Our deepest condolences to the entire Krause family. Henry is a sweet, kind soul and we love him dearly. We are devastated to hear this tragic news. He will forever be in our hearts and memories.
