Danny "Pete" L. Henson

 Danny Lynn “Pete” Henson died March 14,2025, while crappie fishing on Jonathan Creek, with 17 crappie in his live well. 

He was born July 27,1951, the third son of Joe Lawrence and Pearl Nanney Henson. 
Pete was a graduate of South Marshall High School and Murray State University. He taught Math and Physics in the Marshall County School system for 27 years, first at North Marshall High School and then Marshall County High School. 

He was dedicated to hunting and fishing, always sharing his catch with the neighborhood. Pete was a skilled woodcrafter with his own shop. He was a competitive trap and skeet shooter. You could always talk him into a game of cards, especially with a wager involved. He loved riding his 4-wheeler, word and game puzzles, reading and watching movies. He was notorious for stealing the gift that he brought to the Christmas exchange. He loved a good trivia game, but his answers weren’t always correct. We will always remember Uncle Pete for his kindness.
 
He is survived by his brother Jimmy Henson (Paula) of Benton; sister-in-laws Betty Henson of Hardin and Phyllis Henson of Benton. Surviving nephews and nieces are Keith Henson (Beth) of Hardin, Jo Beth Jones (Ricky), Barry Henson (Anita), Tony Henson, Angie York (Tim) and Tracy Henson (Lori), all of Benton. 

He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Bobby Henson and Garry Henson. 

Expressions of sympathy may be made to Barnett Cemetery Fund, c/o Jimmy Henson, 1311 Cedar Knob Rd, Benton, KY 42025. 

Visitation will begin 10:00 AM on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at Collier Funeral Home, followed by the funeral at 1:00 PM with Bro. Todd Dotson officiating. Burial to follow at  Barnett Cemetery.
