of Fayetteville, AR

May 15, 1981 - May 23, 2021

Barret Wayland Henderson of Fayetteville, AR was born May 15, 1981 and died suddenly May 23, 2021. He was saved and baptized at an early age, and now joins his dad in heaven.

Barret graduated from Mountain View High school and became an accomplished carpenter and truly a jack of all trades. He named his company Sunshine Construction because that was his daddy's pet name for him when he was growing up. He didn't cherish money, just the satisfaction of seeing a job well done.

He loved his family and friends fiercely. He said I love you without hesitation. He defended the weak and loved all things historical. He didn't like change and he never held grudges. Known for his banter, he never tired of teasing his family and friends.
Barret didn't talk about things negative. You never knew when he didn't feel well but if he knew you were sick he came running.
Having just celebrated his birthday and receiving many nice gifts, he still complained to his mama she didn't get him a white birthday cake with white buttercream frosting with blue roses........
As a good friend said "How could you not love this man? He was the best of you and Doug. He never met a stranger, and would give his last dollar to someone who needed it and always had more love to give than anyone".
In his private papers I found a 2020 questionnaire that asked what words would you like people to use to describe you? His answer "Loving, honest, good heart, trustworthy, solid, non -judgmental, smart, kind ". Son you got it right.

He blessed us with his presence for 40 years but he leaves behind a broken mom, Barbara Henderson of Leslie, and only sister April Henderson Mitchell and only brother-in-law Ira Mitchell of Fayetteville, AR and a big brother, Robert (Rob) Douglas Henderson, Jr of Rogers, AR. One biological nephew, Tallyn Blake Henderson of Springfield, MO, and Abey Lewis and Bray Lewis who also called him Uncle Barret. Also many other extended family and friends that will mourn his passing. Barret was preceded in death by his father, Robert Douglas Henderson (Doug).

A private ceremony and burial at Elberta Cemetery will be held. He will be buried beside his beloved daddy.
