Stephen McHenry

Stephen was born on October 13, 1948 and raised by his parents Gervase and Darlene in Viroqua, Wisconsin. On May 22, 1973 Stephen and Chin Sun Yim were married in Viroqua. He was a decorated veteran of the U.S. Army and honorably served for over 20 years. During his service, he did two tours at Yongsan military base in South Korea, Fort Hood, Texas, Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, and ended his career in Fort Shafter in Hawaii. After retiring from the U.S. Army, he worked for the U.S postal service in Fort Hood/Killeen for over 17 years as a mail carrier.

Stephen was a member of First Baptist Church of Killeen for the past 10 years and loved his Lord, the church, and his family. His faith was evident in his cheerful and joyful attitude and the way he lived. Stephen enjoyed traveling, dogs, and hiking in the mountains. Stephen was an avid reader, enjoyed discussing politics, and being in the mountains. His recent memorable trips in the U.S.A. were to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, the Great Smoky Mountains, Alaska, Hearst Castle, and the Biltmore. His trip with his church family to Jerusalem, Israel was one of his favorite trips where he was baptized once again in the Jordan river and followed Jesus’ footsteps and visited the milestones of His life. Stephen strongly believed in the power of prayer and was a blessing to all he knew. He will be dearly missed.

Stephen is preceded in death by his parents. Stephen is survived by his wife, Chin; his son, Daniel (Megan) grandchildren Andrew, William, and Caroline; his daughter, Laura (Alen) grandchildren Elizabeth and Greyson; his two sisters Mary Lium (Mike) and Elizabeth Schlitz (Steve); and his brother Peter McHenry (Debbie).
