On Saturday, December 4, 2021, our heavenly father called HENRY ANDERSON JR. home.

He obliged and will forever be comforted in his arms. Henry was born on September 9, 1970, the eldest child and only son of the late Henry L. Anderson Sr. and Linda Anderson Williams of Little Rock. Henry confessed his faith in Christ at the age of nine and was baptized at St. John Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor C.D. Edwards.
