Rhett Hering Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 29, 2015.
Rhett Curtis Hering, 15, of McGregor, passed away on Monday, December 28,2015, following an ATV accident. Funeral services will be Thursday, December 31, 10:00 a.m., in the McGregor High School Auditorium. Interment will follow in the McGregor Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, December 30, 2015 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Cole Funeral Home.

Rhett was born on July 5, 2000, in Waco, to Jimmy and Lorna Hering. He was a freshman at McGregor High School.

For fifteen and a half years, Rhett lived life wide open. From the moment he was born until the moment he left us, Rhett seemed to have the purpose of life figured out better than just about anyone. He was passionate about many things including hunting, football, family and friends. In school, he participated in football, basketball, track, was the freshman class president, and anytime he had a free moment after school, you could find him walking the creek-hunting or fishing. But most of all, Rhett was passionate about people. He knew from an early age that God put him, and all of us, on this earth to take care of one another. He was always quick to smile, to laugh and reach out to those on the fringe; those who were the outcasts. As family, we have lost our son, a sibling and grandson, but more than anything, we have lost a best friend. Rhett will be deeply missed by all that had the joy of knowing him, and we can all take comfort in the assurance that we will see him again in Heaven.

Rhett is survived by his parents; Jimmy and Lorna, brother; Ryan Stuart Hering, sister; Mara Ellen Hering, grandparents; Jene and Micki Hering, of McGregor, and Curtis and Karen Collier, of Robinson, uncle; Trent Collier and wife, Kristy, of Troy, Texas, aunt; Mellissa Woosley, and numerous cousins.

For now, in honor of Rhett, give your best away to others-love, kindness, joy and grace. This is the legacy of Rhett Hering.

Rhett, Young man your light still shines on this earth and it always will! Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to know you but with all the goodness you brought to those around you by living life so large you have touched my heart in ways that are indescribable. I brushed your bangs and held your hand the day you went to heaven and I knew right then that you were a young man that lived life large! I have read over every thing in print to read about what a wonderful young man you are and looked at every tweet on tweeter what an awesome person an angel you are! I refer to you Rhett in the present because you are present and your light still shines so bright in this world! There was a time when I would have ask God why but that was a time when my faith weak, my faith is strong and I trust his plan. One thing I do know is he picked the very best! Thank you for touching my life.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jim and family. I was not fortunate to know Rhett. If he was anything like his dad he was an amazing young man. Words can't define the pain a parent goes through when they lose a child. There is no other pain like it in this world. I'm so sorry for your loss because from what I have read in the guest book, it is a huge loss.

Lorna, I don't know if you remember me or not, but we worked together at Coldwell Banker. I was instantly drawn to you and we became friends. When I first saw this story, my heart was sick. When I realized it was your precious son, there are no words to describe my sadness. His obituary is the best I have ever read. Rhett"s love for life jumped off the page. Please know I am praying for The Lord to wrap each of you in His comforting arms and carry you through your loss. . Rhett is with Jesus now. He is loving in heaven as he did on earth. He is where he is meant to be and where he wants to be. You will see him again. Until then, I pray for your family to find joy again. Much love to you and your family.

I'm praying peace and strength over each of you. I am so, so sorry. Love to all of you.
