Mike Henry Obituary

Chester Michael "Mike" Henry, 73, of Fort Thomas, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 25, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Fort Thomas.

Mike was born on May 1, 1952, in Covington, the son of the late Chester A. Henry and Edna Trimble Henry. He was a former switchman for the Norfolk and Southern Railroad, where he worked hard and took pride in providing for his family.

Above all else, Mike was a devoted father, husband, and grandfather. He deeply loved his family and cherished time spent with his children, stepchildren, and grandchildren. He found joy in riding motorcycles, playing the drums and guitar, and sharing music and laughter with those around him. Mike was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jill Hoefker Henry, who passed on September 1, 2017.

He is survived by his children, Aaron M. Henry;

Eric R. Henry; Jennifer C. Henry; and Jason M.

Henry; his stepchildren, Jeffery Bezold and Lindsey Cook; 20 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and five brothers and sisters, along with many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

Per his wishes, no services will be held. Floral Hills is honored to serve the Henry family.
