Huey Ray Henderson's Obituary
Huey Ray Henderson, 64, of Henderson, was born May 31, 1954 in Mexia, Texas, and passed away March 8, 2019.
He graduated from Mexia High School in 1973. He moved his family to Henderson and began his career with Texas Utilities in 1978. He worked for Texas Utilities for 39 years and was rewarded for 1,000,000 safe work hours. He was a deacon and proud member of First Christian Church of Henderson for 30 years. Huey gladly filled his time with caring for his family. He loved watching all of his grandchildren’s events, spending time with his family at their lake house, vacationing at the beach with family and friends, and gardening with his wife. He was a jack of all trades and was relied upon by his entire family to fix anything and everything from cars to plumbing to removing laundry stains and polishing cleats. He took care of everyone’s needs, big or small, always before his own.
