Henry served his country with honor during two wars while he was a member of  the United States Coast Guard then the United States Army Air Corps.  A such, a final honor was bestowed upon Henry.

When a flag of Unites States of America is worn and tattered, thus ready to be retired, it is done so by destroying it by fire per the United States Flag Code.  One such flag was draped over Henry’s body during his cremation as the final act of honor for this flag to preform.  The flag was donated to the funeral home’s Retire Your Flag With Honor program which uses these flags to honor veterans upon their cremation.

Henry was a long time truck drive and enjoyed auto repair as well as painting.

A memorial service with military honors will be held for Henry Maresch Kersey 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at Northwest Christian Center located at 8601 North Council Road, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73132.
