Christopher W. Henry, 42, will always be remembered for his courage during difficult times. Sadly, on June 8, 2023, in Bangor, Christopher took his own life because the pain was too great. He was born October 21, 1980, in Bangor, the son of William D. and Noelia P. (Hopkins) Henry.
Christopher attended schools in Bangor, graduating from Bangor High School with the class of 1999. Following graduation, he spent 13 years with Shaw’s before finding his calling with sales.
