Henry Rasberry
October 1, 1943 — January 2, 2015
Henry Carl Rasberry, Sr., born to the late Johnnie Carl and Willie McDonald (Durden) Rasberry on October 1, 1943; passed away at his home in Jones, Alabama on January 2, 2015 at the age of 71.
In heaven he rejoins together with his sister, Mary Smitherman; brother, John Rasberry, Mack Rasberry and Jimmie Rasberry; father-in-law, Buck Wallace and mother-in-law, Francis Wallace.
He leaves behind his wife of 46 years, Ann Rasberry; son, Henry "Hank" (Magnolia) Rasberry, Jr.; daughter, Karina Rasberry; granddaughter, Adriana "Angel" Rasberry; sisters, Sara Sims, Minnie (William "Bill") Grover, and Betty (George) Nassaney; in-laws, Mary and Larry Avery and Martha and John Wallace; a host of nieces and nephews and special friends, Lynn Hatcher, Jr. "Junebug" and Willie Bell, Bernice and Jimmy.
Henry served his country faithfully in the U.S. Navy. He worked pipeline construction all over the United States and numerous countries throughout The Middle East, Africa, Central and South America. He served as a deacon at Jones Baptist Church and Bethel Baptist Church.
His life was spent always put the Lord, his family and his friends first. Traditional gospel music was a favorite past time for him, with his favorite being What a Day That Will Be.
"Babe Boy", as he was affectionately called, will be missed by many. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and a father figure to many throughout the community. His life can only be described by his extra ordinary and adventurous life; may the Lord be with him as he embarks on his last "Great Adventure".
