Charles Henry

Mr. Charles Aneus Henry was born in Lacul, Cap-Haitian, Haiti on December 31, 1933. He was the legitimate son of Aneus Henry and Cisely Dolce. He has three brothers and two sisters. At the age of 34, he had to leave Cap-Haitian to relocate to Port-au-Prince in search of a better life. Arriving in Port-au-Prince, he met Marie Cleta Pantaleon while singing in the choir in a catholic church, Notre Dame Haiti. They fell in love and get married in 1967. After a long disease, he asked his barber to pray with him and decided to give his life to Jesus. He attended the First Baptist Church, Rue de la Reunion. He served as one of the elders. He became healthy and his lifestyle changed amazingly. When his wife saw those changes, she decided to give also her life to Jesus. Together they have three daughters, Marjorie Henry Paul, Carline Henry Cornet and Vania Henry Joseph. They have seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He was a self-employed man. He worked hard to provide for our family. By selling books, he took care of us. He made sure that we have food on the table, roof on our head and most importantly, he made sure that Jesus was the center of the family. My dad was not a well-educated man, but he wanted us to have a good education. He believed that education is the key to success. He made sure that we attended good schools and completed our studies. After my mom left Haiti for the United States, she did not have any worries that my dad will take care of us. She was confident that my dad would honor his responsibilities toward the family. My sisters and I are very close. It is so because my dad raised us like that. Growing up, we only had each other. We played, laughed, cried, and even got beaten together. After many years living without my mom, my dad joined her in the United States. He went to school to learn English. He immediately understood that he needed to take charge. He worked as a busboy for many years. He did that with pride and joy. He kept God first in his life. After trying many assemblies, God led his steps to Maranatha Church of God, where pastor Ben became his Pastor. When we all got reunited in the US, although we have our own family, we never got separated. We stayed closed as a family, always remembered the values that my dad instilled in us. Many years prior, he got diagnosed with prostate cancer stage 4. After a successful surgery, he became cancer free. He has lived a healthy life since then. He was a joyful soul. Always signing and praising God. My dad was a hard worker, a fighter, and a prayer warrior. He endured life victoriously, on his knees. He recited the psalms, sang the worship songs without missing one line, one bit, one tone. He was a worshiper. After presenting signs of Alzheimer many years ago, the disease progressed slowing but surely to the point we watched dad going down the spiral and presenting behaviors that was very concerning. My mom endured and took very good care of him, even though she was herself in need of care. He breathed his last and went to be with the Lord on Saturday 24, 2024, at 7:45 in the evening. He left behind his wife, Marie Cleta Pantaleon Henry, his daughters, Majorie, Carline and Vania. His grandchildren, Alessandro, Fabien, Rodlyn, Xavier, Christian, Vanessa and Lauren. His great grandchildren, Alyssa and Heaven. His sons-in-law, Reginald, Roro, and Sorel. His grandson’s wife, Melissa. His brothers and sisters. His nephews and nieces. He was preceded by her father Aneus, his mother Cisely, his brothers Pierre and his sister Jeanine. Now, he is in the presence of his God, tasting the flavor of eternal bliss. He was a man of faith, a visionary, a prayer warrior, a loving father, a carrying Grandfather, a member of Maranatha Church of God and friend of Messiah Worship Center. In the words of Apostle Paul, in 2 Timothy 4:7-8 “ 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” May his soul rest in peace.
