Henry Christian Connolly Morin

MORIN, Henry Christian Connolly, 18, passed away earlier this month after a drowning accident. He was born June 15, 2000 to Kate Connolly and Patrick Morin. Henry was adventurous and an active member of the Boy Scouts earning the highest achievement, Eagle Scout. Many describe Henry as a courageous, kind, loving, and appreciative young man who was always prepared to aid anyone in need. He attended Patrick Henry High School where he was to be graduated on June 15, 2019 before moving on to the University of Colorado. He was known to treat everyone with kindness, deference, and inclusiveness; one of the highest marks of solid character. His teachers described him as a “breath of fresh air” and “joy to teach”. Henry had a smile that lit up a room as he entered. His long blonde hair evolved over the years from crew-cut, to corn rows, to man bun, and finally to his signature modelesque wave. These memories of his changing hairstyle had been a unifying theme of conversation for his friends. He was well known and loved by many even outside of the Patrick Henry community. Henry is survived by his parents, Kate Connolly and Patrick Morin; brothers, Andrew and William. His parents expressed how truly blessed they are to have had him with them for 18 years. A visitation will be held at 11am on Monday, June 10, 2019 at St. Michaels Catholic Church, 4491 Springfield Rd., Glen Allen, VA 23060. A funeral mass will begin at 12:00pm.
