Henry Anderson Varner

Henry Anderson Varner peacefully passed away in the loving arms of his parents Noah and Emily (Cook) Varner on Monday, August 25, 2025 at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, AR. Born on April 13, 2025, Henry brought immense joy to his family during his brief time on Earth. In his short four months, Henry taught his family more about strength, resilience and unconditional love than they could have ever imagined. He was a warrior from the start, battling a complex congenital heart defect that led him to meet Jesus sooner than anyone would have hoped. Though his life was short, it was full of love, cuddles and his family's unwavering adoration. They will forever cherish the feeling of his little hand wrapped around their finger and the way his eyes lit up when he saw his family. Henry is now in the kingdom of heaven where there is no pain and no suffering. His family was blessed beyond words for the time they had with him and take comfort in God's promises of seeing him again one day. He was preceded in death by his paternal great grandparents, Rufus and Frances Anderson, great uncle, Larry Anderson, and maternal grandfather, Stanley Cook, Jr. He is survived by his loving parents, Noah and Emily Varner, twin brother, Stetson Hardcastle Varner, maternal grandmother, Melissa Hardcastle, paternal grandfather Greg Varner, paternal grandmother, Lynn Varner, maternal great grandparents, Tommy and Nancy Hardcastle, maternal great grandmother, Sally Cook Huffman, paternal great grandparents Jerry and Peggy Varner, uncle Miles (Teri) Cook and their daughter, Camellia, great uncle David Anderson, great aunt Sarah Cook, cousin Candy West and many extended family.
