Pray for Chris Henry

PrintI understand that this is not a Cowboys-related matter, but a young man's life is at stake here, and this is an NFL matter that encompasses all fans. Bengals wide-receiver Chris Henry is likely to lose his life tonight after an extremely odd automobile accident.
Henry is on life support after reportedly falling out of a pickup truck. Homicide decetives were called onto the scene, so loss of life is almost imminent in this case.
As we all know, Henry has been a troubled man throughout his football career. But in the last calendar year, Henry has been an example of how it is possible to turn a troubled life around.
Whatever you think about this man, please pray for him. He is only 26 years old, and a father of three. No young man deserves this fate. No children deserve to lose their father.
PLEASE SEND UP YOUR PRAYERS FOR CHRIS HENRY TONIGHT.

My thoughts and Prayers are with him and his family

Thoughts and Prayers
to that young man and his family

Wow what a shame
It figures just when it seems that he was turning his life around something like this has to happen….
Extremely sad
My thoughts are with him and his family (not so much his fiancee).
Definitly.
Very sad, certainly for a young talented guy who has worked so hard to turn his life around.

sorry but I if you're trying to be funny.....
it’s not well received. Have a little compassion dude
funny!!!!
guess you don’t believe in prayer huh?
According to clinical studies...
prayers do not work. Even me being a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can understand that.

Wow.
He didn’t make it. It’s truly sad.
My prayers go out to his family.
I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?

Rest in Peace
This is truly an awful thing too see. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding both his life and the death, this is something that no one ever wants to see. Henry was a very gifted football player, and you never want to see someone pass away, especially this young. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by this in anyway.
What I find odd is that he was chasing his girl down to beat the crap out of her and,
got himself killed. While I do feel terrible that he lost his life. what would have happened if he had caught her?
I hope he finds peace in death because he sure never found it in life. RIP CH
His reckless behavior that he has exhibited so many times in the past
finally caught up with him and unfortunately it cost him his life.
Very tragic, was an enormously talented player.
In Romo we Trust
Terry, what happened to us? We used to disagree on everything over the last week...lol)
And now almost everything I read of yours I have to agree with. I do have to say though that I still disagree with you about the Coach/Player/Fan role. But other than that you seem like a fan with a decent knowledge base.
is that
he was chasing his girl down to beat the crap out of her
fact or speculation?

Actually they played a tapeof the lady that called 911 saying she
was behind the truck with him screaming and smacking on the window yelling and making threats. So not speculation.
He was threatening to kill himself by jumping out as well.
If the people in his life had been more worried about taking advantage of his talent or his money he might have REALLY got help and could have truly turned his life around
wow didn't know any of that
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!

my point aussie is.......
there’s a bunch of stuff that’s being said right now according to Sirius. Apparently, UTexan and I diagree on it. According to reports, Henry got into a disagreement with his girlfriend. She was taking off in the truck. He jumped into the bed of the truck to try and get her to stop. Some people have said that he said if she didn’t stop he would jump out of the truck and kill himself. This is all hearsay at the point. Where I disagree with UTexan is he is trying to say that he was “chasing his girl down to the beat the crap out of her.” That is not correct from what I have heard. There’s a BIG difference in saying that he was beating on the back window to get her to stop and threatening to BEAT her.
What bugs me about a lot of people is they are bashing him when they don’t know all the facts. I’m not taking up for the guy because he obviously has had a disturbed past but to pile on when someone has just died is just wrong in my opinion. I don’t care what people say, it’s sad.
excuse me.....
why are you calling me junior?
where you there?
there’s a bunch of rumors going around so please don’t talk to me like you’re the authority on everything " junior" as you like to call me. I still think it’s sad when anyone dies at the age of 26 and from what I had heard he was trying to change his life around. Plus the guy’s dead. Let him rest in peace instead of trashing him
Tramping on a grave. . .
. . .is not for me.
Sorry.
