William "Eddie" Henson of Cabot, Arkansas, went on his heavenly journey on Saturday, August 23, 2025. He was born in El Dorado, Arkansas, on October 26, 1946, to the late Clinton Eugene Henson and May Morgan Henson of Mt. Holly, Arkansas.
Eddie was a devout believer who loved the Lord and cherished his faith. He spent the last 59 years with his beloved wife, Patricia Anne Henson. Eddie proudly served in the United States Air Force Reserve in the late 1960s. He had a deep love for his family, enjoyed studying his Bible, hunting, cheering for Razorback sports, and never passed up the chance to barter for a good deal.
He graduated from South Arkansas University with a bachelor's degree in accounting and soon after earned his CPA. He worked for Entergy for nearly 30 years and started his own CPA firm in the late 1980s in the Central Arkansas area. He was a man of great integrity, deeply dedicated to his faith, family, work, his colleagues, and the many clients who became lifelong friends.
Eddie was preceded in death by his sister, Ann Henson Oliver of Hampton, Arkansas.
He is survived by his loving wife, Patricia Anne Henson of Cabot, Arkansas; his son, Jeffrey Paul Henson and wife, Karen Henson of Dripping Springs, Texas; his sister, Jane Burrow and husband, Pat Burrow of Conway, Arkansas; his brother, Troy Henson and wife, Donna Henson of Mt. Holly, Arkansas; brother in law, Dwain Oliver of Texas; and his cherished grandchildren, Emma Henson and Jake William Henson, of Dripping Springs, Texas. Eddie also leaves behind a host of extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.
Visitation will be held on Friday, August 29, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., followed by a memorial service at 10:00 a.m. Both services will take place in the chapel at A Natural State Funeral Service in Jacksonville, Arkansas. Eddie will be laid to rest at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Cabot, Arkansas, near family and friends.
