Henry David Lawshe, 10 months

Henry David Lawshe was born on Aug. 13, 2012, and passed away June 20, 2013. 

His impact on this world was immediate, his presence bringing joy to all who had the privilege of meeting him. And in his short time with us, he provided a lifetime of courage and an unending legacy of love.

Adversity was a constant in Henry's life. And yet, trial by trial, he continually reminded us of life's simplest and most precious moments —  holding on tight to his binky, an afternoon in the sunshine at the family cabin in West Glacier, the gentle timelessness of Papa's whistling, Nana smiling down at him, and the unspoken beauty that only exists between a parent and a child. 

Kick Buttowski and sister Tylar were always there to comfort him.  Through it all, Henry continued to smile, laugh and bring happiness to everyone around him. Henry was born in love, lived in love, and his memory will be one of eternal love, every hour of every day.

Henry is survived by parents, Hawke Lawshe and Amanda Burt; his sister, Tylar Lawshe; paternal grandparents, Ron Peters and Pat Lawshe; maternal grandparents, David and Terry Burt; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

The service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, June 28, at the Christian Center, located at 255 Summit Ridge Drive in Kalispell.

A memorial fund has been set up with Wells Fargo Bank in the name of Henry David Lawshe.
