Enrique “Henry” Israel Chavez

Enrique “Henry” Israel Chavez, a resident of Bosque Farms, passed away on Tuesday, May 23, at his home.

He was preceded in death by his father, Eduardo, and mother, Eva.

He is survived by his wife, Janet; siblings, Arturo, Oswaldo, Delia, Gloria and Raul; children, Michelle, Michael and Enrika; stepson, Daniel; daughter-in-law, Melissa; and grandchildren, Ariana, Ethan and Amara.

Henry was loved by all, with his quick wit and mischievous twinkle in his eye. He was a proud Marine, talented carpenter, consummate griller and the best dad his dogs, Harley, Marley and Willow, ever could have asked for.

He was a loving brother, husband, father and grandfather. Henry was always the life of the party, an accomplished dancer, and a true man of adventure, ready to embrace the next escapade.

Journey on, Henry; you will forever be in our hearts and souls.
