ElRay John Hendricks

I loved Elray he was a great guy. Unforgettable

An unforgettable person. The best veterinarian ever! Good with 4-Hers, actually, with all children and animals. Just an all-around good person.

RIP Elray..... Youre with the many animals you have helped all these years getting your face licked. I will miss you so much.. You helped our animals with such care and love. My deepest regards to his family.

Elray had the human touch to deal with challenges of his profession for both the sad and the good. In my lifetime I have met many, but never saw a more exuberant father in welcoming a new addition. I have Stake President friend who lost a 39 year old to cancer. He told me that losing a child is the most excruciating experience he had despite all the comfort and counsel he has given. Elray seemed to find the Balm of Gilead after the tragic accident that took Casey's life in this mid teens. I...

I'll never forget the time Elray flew to Nevada to take care of my daughter's horse that had been injured. She was the Ehcapa queen and I had tried to unload her while she was still tied up in the trailer. I felt so bad, but Elray flew in and took care of her. Never forgot! I'm so sorry he has passed.

Dear Hendricks family,
My deepest regards to you. I share in the loss of Dr. Hendricks. He was a very precious mentor to me growing up and a role model for me in our career. I feel very fortunate to have met such a wonderful and kind person. Dr. Hendricks had such a depth of compassion for all living creatures and such a passion for his family, clients, veterinary medicine and life in general. What a gift to have known you.
Thank you kindly

Dearest Deon and Family, we just learned of El Ray's sudden death and are sending you loving warm hugs, thoughts and prayers. Our family has many funny and tender memories of El Ray and your family through the years, the mischievous look in his eye, caring ways and living "full out". It also brings back good memories of Casey and what fine young man he was. May your memories bring you comfort and El Ray's life example continue to guide your way. Love and Best Wishes, Alan, Mary, Ben &...

Our family mourns the loss of ElRay. He played a huge part in our lives, in the care of our animals, and advice on animal care, specifically horses. If it wasn't for ElRay we wouldn't have had so many of the experiences with horses that helped our children mature in the love of animals! ElRay, you will be sadly missed.
Doug and Eloise Kraemer and family
