Henry "Hank" William Sutter

Henry William Sutter “Hank” was born on April 9, 1998 in Yreka California to Shawn Campbell and John Sutter of Etna. Our beautiful Henry walked into the loving arms of Jesus on February 3, 2018, at the age of 19. Henry attended Etna High School, where he enjoyed playing both football and baseball. After graduating in 2016, he went on to attend Northwest Lineman College, graduating in 2017. Henry excelled in Lineman school, not only earning nearly straight A’s on his exams but then earning first place at the end-of program competition for the fastest 70 ft. pole climb, in a record breaking time of 53 seconds, in true Hank Sutter style. The boy had legs. Henry was big in spirit and big in love. He radiated. Henry truly sparkled. His joy-filled presence was felt by everyone around him. If you knew him, you loved him; he was everyone’s friend. He had a kind and tender heart, a crazy silly sense of humor, his smile was contagious, his laughter was infectious, and those dimples, and those eyes…Hank was golden. There was never enough time to be with Henry: He made life fun, he made you feel like you were his favorite, wherever he was the light was brighter. Henry was never too busy to go fishing with his mother, to cut firewood with his father, to open the car door for his Grandma, or to drive 3 hours to help a friend in need. He was special. Henry was an outdoorsman through and through. He was happiest when out in nature with his family and friends. His passion, his love, his heart, was fishing. He kept photos of fishing trips, hiking, hunting, snowboarding, bonfires on the mountain, camping out on the Salmon River, boating in Trinity and even just fireworks and target practice. Henry taught us to enjoy the moment and to not take life so seriously. Henry is survived by his mother, Shawn Campbell of Etna, and his father, John Sutter of Etna; his two big brothers, Jacob Sutter and Christopher Sutter; maternal grandmother Cora Villeponteaux; paternal grandmother Billie Sutter; as well as aunts Sheri Campbell of Fort Jones, Jodi King of Etna, and Joanne Campbell of Etna; uncles Shane Campbell and Farmer Campbell of Etna, uncle Jim Sutter and aunt Julie Sutter of Callahan; cousins include Colt Campbell, Savannah Campbell, Sierra Campbell, David Sutter, Kristen Hash, Shane Campbell, Daniel Hendrickson, Patricia Hendrickson, Jacob Gonzales of Seiad, Brandon Knudsen of Oregon; and many loving friends. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather John Sutter; maternal grandfather Jim Villeponteaux; and maternal Aunt Chris Campbell. Henry will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. We will forever be grateful to God for Henry and the joy and love he brought to each one of our lives. A celebration of Henry’s life will be held on Saturday, February 24, 2018, at 2pm, at the Berean Church in Etna. A reception to share our memories, stories and love for Henry will follow in the Berean Church hall.
