I didn't have the privilege of knowing Hank. But I knew his dad, john, years ago and had the joy of getting to talk to him one last time before his passing. John must have raised an exceptional son and if he was like his father, he was one exceptional person! I've heard nothing but praise for Hank. Bless his family and may God watch over them.

My deepest sympathy is with you all. It was privilege to know Hank, and to be his hairstylist for 7 years. He was always such a joy to talk to. Always, about cattle and horses of course. I will miss seeing his sweet, smile and his daily honks as he drove by the salon. I will be praying for your family.

We loved Hank so much Kristen. He was my savior at so many cattle sales. Don’t think I ever looked into his eyes that he didn’t calm or tell me it would be good. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. He was a very special young man!

Tyler;
Our heartfelt prayers, go to you and the rest of the family. We have so many special memories, of our time, together; in Ashdown. Hank was always the character and so much fun, to be around. I wish I could take the pain, for you. We love you and ask that God wrap you, in peace and comfort.

Dear Kristen and the rest of the family,
Janice and I were so saddened by Hank’s death. He and I spent a lot of time together at the deaths of Aunt Betty and Uncle John. He was a good man. Don’t ever let his children forget that. Previous commitments wouldn’t allow me to officiate at his funeral — as I did at his parents’ — but as hard as it would have been, I would have been honored to do so. You all will be in our prayers. Kristen, if you need us, please don’t hesitate to call.
