William Charles Henricks

William Charles Henricks, 59, passed away on March 29th, 2026.

William (Bill) was born, the youngest of 8, in Geneseo, Illinois on March 23, 1967, to James and Marjorie Henricks. He played and excelled at many sports in high school and was a talented, self-taught, drum player who had a deep appreciation for music. He loved nothing more than to hangout with his kids, playing the latest video games, and getting everyone laughing at his voice impressions and movie quotes. He was just an all-around funny and loving man who was quick help whenever he could with a cup of coffee in hand.

Bill was a loving husband who devoted 22 years to his wife, Chasity Henricks of Trenton. Bill’s favorite thing in the world was being an incredible and supportive Dad to his 8 surviving children, Christopher Henricks, Crystal Henricks (Brennan McGuire), Tara Henricks, Samanatha Henricks, Codi Ruthledge (Eric), Chase Henricks (Summer Ceradsky), Brennen Henricks, Braeden Henricks and Papaw to his 11 grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by both parents, sisters Carron Lisnik, Bonnie Luttrell, Margie Henricks, brother Dale Whisler, and grandson Huntley Wendel. He is survived and missed by his wife, 8 children, 11 grandchildren, brother James Whisler, sisters Kim (Dave) Ross, Barb (Rex) Lake, and numerous nieces and nephews.

There will be a Celebration of Life that will be held at the Simpson Park In Chillicothe Missouri at 1:00pm on Saturday, April 11th, 2026. Family and friends are encouraged to attend. Please reach out to Crystal Henricks at crystalhenricks@gmail.com for more information.
