Henry Gerhard Mountain, age 28, of Grass Lake, MI (formerly of Chelsea, MI) passed away on Monday, March 22, 2021. Born on March 17, 1993, in Seattle, WA, Henry is the son of Vincent and Michelle (Bonnicksen) Mountain.
Henry led a very spirited life. He loved being in nature--hiking, rafting, whitewater rafting, snowboarding--anything he could do out of doors! He had an immense heart, and was welcoming and accepting of other people and their beliefs and perspectives. Henry played the guitar, wrote poetry and music, and he was friends with people of all ages.
Most of all, he was a great son, brother, and friend.
In addition to his parents, Vincent and Michelle, Henry is survived by his brother, Julian Mountain; his paternal grandparents, Maury Mountain and Rosemary Mountain; his maternal grandparents, Ronald and Gloria Bonnicksen; cousins, Hallie, Emma, Grace, Tad, Cal, and Leo; many aunts and uncles; special friend, Rene E. Kiss; and his newly adopted cat, Opal.
