It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Henry John Workman, age 10, on Thursday, April 30, 2026, leaving behind family and friends who loved him deeply and a life full of moments that will never be forgotten.
Henry was born on October 2, 2015, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Thomas and Denise (Murphy) Workman. After spending time in the NICU, Henry’s strength carried him home, where he joined his older brother, Carson.
Henry attended Eugene Field Elementary and was preparing to make the big jump to Maryville Middle School.
Henry was a farm boy at heart. He loved helping his dad and brother with cattle, riding in tractors, and spending time outdoors fishing, shooting, and swimming. He enjoyed riding anything with wheels—from four-wheelers and dirt bikes to go-carts. He loved spending time with his cousins and friends, always ready to play and up for any adventures. Traveling on family trips was something he always looked forward to. He was especially excited about summer and getting his show calf ready for the County Fair.
Henry had a big heart and cared deeply for others, always checking in and making sure everyone around him was okay. His smile was contagious and had a smile and shrug of his shoulders that would make troubles fade away.
Henry was preceded in death by his great-grandparents Lester James Sr. and Daisy (Schenkel) Workman, David Judd, Ralph and Delores (Vogel) Murphy, Charlie Davison, and Golda “Marie” Brown.
He is survived by his loving parents; his brother, Carson; his grandparents, Lester James Jr. and Darla (Judd) Workman, and Dennis and Aneta (Davison) Murphy; great- grandma Juliana (Linebaugh) Judd; his aunts and uncles, Christina Workman and David Grant, Sarah and Jake Smith, Mandy and Dustin Linebaugh, Lisa and Ryan Stahl, and Emily and Shawn Frueh; and cousins, Noah Workman, Westyn Puckett, Stockton Smith, Ty Linebaugh, Corey (Kenlee and Lane) Linebaugh, Shelby Linebaugh, Peyton Stahl, Lauren Stahl, Charley Stahl, Landon Frueh, Jaclyn Frueh, and Alex Frueh.
Henry’s life, though far too short, was a gift to all who knew him. We find comfort in knowing he is now at peace in the arms of Jesus, free from pain, and watching over those he loved. His kindness and love will continue to guide us until we meet again in heaven.
