Beloved infant Henry passed away after 1:00 am on Saturday, November 7, 2020 at Banner Desert Children’s Hospital in Mesa, AZ due to multiple medical conditions. Henry was in the hospital from birth for 2 months and 7 days. We would like to acknowledge the wonderful and caring NICU & PICU nurses, doctors, and staff at the Banner Children’s at Desert for their above and beyond services. We would also like to acknowledge Henry’s Cardiologist, Doctor John Stock, for his help.
Surviving are his parents Brent Charles Larsen and Jessica Gail Larsen; maternal grandfather Kenneth Lee Shelton; paternal grandmother LeAnn Hatch Larsen and grandfather Brad Calister Larsen; 5 maternal aunts and 5 maternal uncles; 3 paternal aunts and 3 paternal uncles; and numerous maternal and paternal cousins.
He was preceded in death by maternal grandmother Patricia Bohne Shelton
Services will not be held however a celebration of life will occur in the coming months. We are also considering a virtual option for people to share online as many are not local to Henry. For more information go to www.bunkerfuneral.com.
In lieu of flowers the family would please ask any interested parties to donate to their favorite children’s hospital.

Jessica, my heart is full of sadness for the pain and emptiness you are feeling right now, but also joy that you were the one to bring this sweet spirit into the world to get the body he needed to continue on his eternal journey.

He now has experienced love unbound and is now watching, guiding and preparing for you to join him again in the future.
