Henry Paul Orton

went home to be with his Lord on Friday, March 25, 2022. He

was surrounded by family and friends as he took his last breath.

Henry was born to H.C. (Henry Clay) Orton and Cleta Arline (Nicely) Orton on

February 12, 1953, in Southern California. He entered the United States Army July

1975, where he traveled the world. He retired from Ft. Irwin, California in August

of 1994.

As much as he enjoyed and cherished being a father, he found happiness and

fulfillment in being a grandfather. He was very active in his faith; being a member

of the Dayton Bible Chapel community for the last 20 years. He also enjoyed

spending time with his fellow veterans at the Dayton chapter of the American

Legion.

A special thank you to the Doctors, Nurses, Technicians and support staff at

Wright Patterson Medical Center Oncology Clinic, 3rd Floor Inpatient Unit and ICU.

They treated him with dignity and as a friend these last two decades. They never

forgot that he was a Veteran and not just a disease.

Henry was preceded in death by his parents H.C. and Cleta Arline Orton and sister

Edna “Beth” Greer. He is survived by his wife Patricia L. Orton, daughters Patricia

A. (Jose) Orton, Cassandra L. (Logan) Markko, Haley E. (Zackary) Orton, and Emily

Arline Orton; grandchildren Madison Amilia Orton, Ryleigh Ranae Starner, and

Finn Michael Markko; brother Edward D. Orton, and nieces and nephews Victor

Sardon, Tricia Ellis, Kandace Orton, Steven Orton, Shawn Greer, as well as

numerous great nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held at 12:30 pm on Monday, April 4, 2022, at the Tobias

Funeral Home- Beavercreek Chapel. Interment will follow at the Dayton National

Cemetery. The family will receive friends at the Tobias funeral home from 11:30

until the time of services on Monday, April 4.

Memorial contributions may be made in Henry’s name to the American Cancer

Society.
