EXTENDING DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF JEFFREY R. HENAULT

     Introduced By: Representatives Casey, Phillips, Morin, Edwards, and Mattiello

     Date Introduced: June 27, 2019

     Referred To: House read and passed

     WHEREAS, It is with utmost sadness that this House has learned of the untimely passing

of Jeffrey R. Henault, the beloved husband of Andrea Henault, and the cherished father of

Salvatore and Ava Marie; and

     WHEREAS, Born in Milford, Massachusetts, Mr. Henault was the devoted son of Ronald

and Constance Henault, the brother of Timothy Henault and his wife, Holly, and the uncle of

Jillian, Hailey, Kayla, Madison and TJ. He is also survived by and had a wonderful relationship

with his in-laws, Joseph and Pamela Butera, and his sister-in-law, Donna Butera; and

     WHEREAS, A graduate of Woonsocket High School, Mr. Henault had served our

country with honor and pride in the United States Marine Corps from 1998 through 2002; and

     WHEREAS, Mr. Henault's fourteen years of dedicated service to his community as a

firefighter for the Woonsocket Fire Department is wholeheartedly commendable, but it was only

one small portion of a life that included a panoply of service to others. He was a coach and active

board member for Woonsocket Little League, and until his passing, had served as Union

President of Local 732 and Chairman of the Executive Board of RI State Association of

Firefighters. He was also the past Vice President of the First District for the RI State Association

of Firefighters and an active member of the Firefighters Relief Association; and

     WHEREAS, There were few things that Mr. Henault enjoyed more than time spent with

his family, particularly attending his children's sporting and school events, being a Firefighter,

and hanging with his friends, hunting and reminiscing about his Marine days; and

     WHEREAS, Jeffrey Henault is gone from sight, but will never vanish from the hearts of

those who knew and loved him dearly, and were fortunate to have shared his life; now, therefore

be it

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and

Providence Plantations hereby expresses our deepest sympathies on the passing of Jeffrey R.

Henault; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Andrea Henault and Family.
