Xavier Tremayne Henry entered the world January 12,1998, to Sara Stockdale and Chad Henry. He was their first born. Xavier came into the world with coal black hair and big bright eyes that confirmed he was ready to challenge life from every aspect. From the time he was born he was an inquisitive little guy. At a young age he deeply admired things like the flowers that grew in his mom's yard. Xavier had profound curiosity, always wanted to know why and how things worked. He was very quiet and shy. If you could have a conversation with him, you'd realize very quickly that he was wise beyond his years, and his thoughts were very deep. He'd used words that you'd never heard anyone use and would have you searching for them in a dictionary for understanding. Xavier was not the typical kid on the block, but you'd find very quickly that he had all the right answers and in his own words.

Xavier was quite the young man. He was definitely a leader. He loved his family through thick and thin. He was very forgiving and loyal. Xavier was a great son, nephew, uncle, grandson, and cousin. He will be deeply missed by us all. Even though we may think he is gone too soon he served his time on this earth and returned to his Father at the time he was designated.

We will all miss you, Xavier!

Xavier is preceded in death by his grandfather, Robert Martin III, and nephew, Marlo Rafferty.

Xavier leaves to cherish his memories: his mother, Sara Stockdale; his father, Chad Henry (Jennifer); his sisters, Deja McGee, Kaylynn Stockdale and Ashley Henry; his brother, Jovon Stockdale; his grandmothers, Carolyn Rice and Nancy Stockdale; his aunts, Jasmine Rice and Chriscinda Henry; his uncles, Luke Stockdale, Jason Blick, Robert Martin IV and Marion Stevenson; his nieces, Daniella, Arie, Callie and Winnie; his nephews, Jaxton and Ezekial; and a host of cousins and friends.
