RIP Chris Henry

Posted by Steven Lourie on December 17, 2009 at 2:50 PM Comments comments (0)

Chris Henry has died today at age 26. The majority of reports of his death have all talked about his hardships and his failures. In the car today, thinking about Henry’s death and how short life can be, and about untapped potential, a song game on the radio that I felt described the situation well, especially the first few lines. The song is “Leave Out All the Rest” by Linkin Park.

 

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

 

I am not going to talk about the mistakes Henry has made in his life, I am not going to go in detail about his off the field failures, or his untapped potential. I’m not here to judge him and his life at all, because I didn’t know him. I am just going to say Henry was a person, with friends, family, talents, shortcomings, and aspirations, just like everyone else, and leave out all the rest because as a human being that is what he deserves. I’m sure there are many, many people out there who will miss Chris Henry and for those people I wish the best and for him I wish that he may rest in peace.
