Uncle Henry, I'm struggling to accept your departure, but knowing you're in heaven with God brings peace. We've shared so many special moments since you moved here, especially holidays and events. Last November was our time we spent together celebrating my birthday with joy, laughter, and dancing. Your smile will stay with me! Though it's hard, I know you're in a better place. I love you, Uncle, you were a great person & kind hearted. Your memory will stay with me. Until we meet again, rest in peace. Love your niece Chels

Henry Nieto also known as Hank, 61 was born in Sun Valley, California on February 15, 1963. He was raised in San Fernando Valley and proudly claimed his hometown Pacoima. Henry moved to Santa Maria, California in 2020 to be near his mother and family. Henry was a fun, loving person with a love for God that was solid. Henry leaves behind a legacy of his love for his mother Lupe, his brothers; Raymond, Johnny and George and his sisters; Grace, Yolanda and Irene and many nieces and nephews. He is proceeded in death by his father Raymond Nieto. On October 17, 2024, the Lord called Henry home. Henry’s funny and forgiving ways, his love for others, his strength of a warrior, and his kind and gentle ways will be greatly missed.

Hanky I remember you talking about how excited you were to reconnect with your childhood friend Mike and Ida. This was a relationship that was very special he looked forward to hanging out with Mike the long talks they have about Childhood Memories, Life and the Bible.....Ida, when you shared with us he was going to Church on Sunday with you two and after going to your Home to see some football and then when Mike added that he was going to surprise Hanky with the Bike but didn´t get to because Hanky went with God on Thursday. We just want to Thank You both for giving Hanky the Gift of Faith Hope and Friendship......Sincerely Grateful George and Maria Nieto

I am thankful for the many times you have helped me moved in Texas and here in Cali and never asked for anything much in return. I also cherish the great memories when we hungout at the beach and ditch everyone just to go and hangout at the bar. Having great times at recent family gatherings. I'm also going to miss your jokes! Rest in Peace with Our Heavenly Father, Uncle Henry. Love your nephew-Joseph Mendibles

My dearest Henry, you will forever be the one who understood... the day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making excuses, that's the day you start rising to the top. You had a loving heart, a pure soul and a great personality. Many tried to break your spirit but you continued to treat others with kindness and respect. You were humorous, yet indestructible and you will be greatly missed. You are the real one, solid genuine and loyal. Thanks for the laughs, great memories spent with you at the beach, family dinners and just hanging out. Rest peacefully in the arms of Our Loving Father.
Love your Sista, Gucci

Henry my dearest younger brother, your unwavering support and boundless love inspired our family every day. I am truly grateful for your presence in my life and the closeness we shared. Brother, you said I was your hero and confidant, but your kindness and strength have always been my guiding light. I enjoyed picking you up in my `47 Chevy to cruise the car shows, teaching you journeyman skills, playing guitar with you and spending time together. There was never a regret or disagreement between us because we respect family values and will always be brothers. Your loss will forever be etched on my heart, but our memories will forever remain. I´m going to miss you brother.
Love, Raymond

I said this before you were truly my favorite Brother in Law and we had some really Funny moments I could say something sarcastic and when I looked at you all of a sudden you would smile and we both would laugh so hard we both got each other´s sense of humor and I will miss that most of all I know you had to go with GOD and I know you are an Angel up in Heaven your Love for GOD was apparent everytime you spoke the words of the Bible. I will remember this picture of the both of you because you mentioned it was the day you were teaching Dodie how to ride a two wheel bike and he did it on the first try and you were proud
