William Amzie Henderson

William Amzie Henderson, age 59, passed away Wednesday August 1st in his home surrounded by his loving family.
Bill is survived by his beloved wife of 35 years Alois, his two children Melanie & Justin, grandchildren Erika & William and his brother Carl Henderson.
Bill Henderson was born October 12th 1958, in Modesto California to William Henderson and Oleta Milburn. William graduated from Hilmar High School in 1978 and married the love of his life Alois Zak in 1983. They had two children and lived in the Central Valley until 1999 when they moved to Grenada, California and eventually Southern Oregon in 2006.
Bill was a hardworking family man. He began his career with Pacific Gas & Electric Company in 1985 as a utility worker. He quickly became a welder and was a respected Gas Transmission Foremen in 2016 when he retired. His career took him all over California, with the majority of those years spent in Chico and the Bay area.  He was loved and respected by his crew, coworkers and all those who worked alongside him. Following his cancer diagnosis, he retired after 31 years.
In his free time, he enjoyed traveling with his wife, diving, riding his Harley, and tinkering in the garage. But what he loved most was spending time with his grandchildren, whom he doted upon.
He was a kind man who always put others before himself. He could fix anything and would give the shirt off his back to a friend in need. He was a great friend, an even better father, and a supportive and loving husband.
He will forever be in our hearts and will be greatly missed by our friends and family.
