Henry Robert Kruck died at the age of three on February 25 wrapped in the love of his family. He was born with a chromosome anomaly called 1p36 deletion syndrome, which affected him in many ways. Henry was no stranger to Wolfson’s Children’s Hospital, where he spent his final days after suffering a massive seizure that sent him into cardiac arrest.
Henry’s effect on the world was so much greater than the effect his condition had on him. To learn more about this boy’s amazing life and love, visit https://thekruckkronicles.com.
Henry is survived by his parents and baby sister Ella. In Heaven he will join his Grandma Bev, Papa Ric and all the other family, including his fellow 1p36 angels, who went before him.
Henry’s life will be celebrated on Saturday, March 4 at 3 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church on 1415 McDuff Avenue South with a reception to follow at the church.
