Pat McHenry, 60

Pat McHenry passed away on Oct. 10, 2019, at his home in Twin Lakes, Idaho. Pat was born on June 30, 1959, in a small naval hospital in Crane, Ind.

The youngest of eight children (seven boys and one girl), his family always attributed his loud, booming voice as his way of being heard over his siblings. Pat’s father was in the Navy and the family moved to Camarillo, Calif., in 1963, where he enjoyed riding his pony through lemon and walnut orchards, surfing the beautiful Ventura County coastline and jet skiing with his best friend, Johnny.

He graduated from Camarillo High School in 1977 and went on to graduate from Arizona Automotive Institute. He moved to Idaho in 1992, where he remained to be closer to his daughter, Emily, the light of his life. Pat enjoyed employment in the trucking industry, which included his last position as area manager with Sunshine Disposal Company.

Pat was preceded in death by his father, Marcus McHenry; his mother, Thelma McHenry and loving oldest brother, Mark. He is survived by his daughter, Emily McHenry and siblings, Steve (Paula), Mike (Betty), Larry, Cliff (Maureen), Bob (Debra) and sister, Sharon (Rick) McHenry Edwards. His nephews Dave, Mike, Bryan and Andrew looked up to him as a big brother and they enjoyed many outings and experiences with him. He was also loved by his many Texas cousins and aunts.

There will be a private family celebration of life gathering at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Pat’s name to The Wounded Warriors Project.
