Jack Dean Henley, age 91, of Shreve, entered into rest on Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at Ohio's Hospice Life Care in Wooster following a period of declining health. His loving family was by his side.

He belonged to the local American Legion and attended the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Wooster. He enjoyed hunting & fishing- especially with his buddy, Dennis.
