HENSON, Gunner Ray (Big Guns)

The White Mountain Independent, Show Low, Arizona ~ 04/30/2013 On April 22, 2013, Gunner Ray Henson, aka “Big Guns,” was granted his angel wings and is now at peace and with the Lord. Gunner was born July 18, 2012. While his life was cut short, Gunner touched many lives during his short stay here on earth and never failed to have a smile upon his face.

Gunner is survived by his loving, unselfish parents, Dakota and Amanda Henson; grandparents: Steve and Janie Henson, Melvin Herndon, Crystal Guisinger; aunt Cheyenne and uncle Aaron Guerra, aunt Danielle Herndon; cousins Cheyllie and Hunter Greenwood, and Heather Greathouse and extended family and friends that Gunner loved so much.
