The loss of Henry J. Roberts of Manheim, Pennsylvania is being felt enormously by all who knew and loved him. In his short 12 years on this earth Henry left his mark on this world in a multitude of ways. Henry took his role as big brother to his two sisters Avenell and Caroline seriously by being their fearless leader and friend while also giving them the necessary 'hard time' that big brothers do to keep things in order. As a student and classmate, Henry enjoyed the serious role of bringing laughter to the moment, guiding those younger than himself, and his favorite lending a helping hand to those who needed it. Henry thrived in the outdoors spending endless hours outside building forts, climbing trees, running, biking and fishing. Henry loved playing soccer, swimming, and recently learned that he was a natural at archery. A promising young entrepreneur, Henry loved making maple syrup with his family, selling cotton candy with his friend, raising pigs and had plans for a garden stand that was scheduled to debut this summer.

Henry is survived by his parents, Justin and Kelly; sisters, Avenell (9) and Caroline (6); grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. He is preceded in death by his Uncle Bill.
