Henry Clifford Rasp passed away peacefully in his home on Dec. 3, 2025, at the age of 74. He was born to the late Rosanna (Walters) and Clifford Rasp on Nov. 2, 1951.
Henry lived a life marked by service, skill, and a steady, dependable presence paired with a dry sense of humor that showed up exactly when it was needed, one that those around him loved and appreciated.
A U.S. Navy veteran, he served proudly during the Vietnam War and carried a strong sense of patriotism throughout his life. Henry had a naturally creative and technical mind, often finding solutions where others saw obstacles. He was known for his inventions around his house that helped him in his day-to-day living. He enjoyed spending time outdoors and took honest pleasure in shooting, a pastime that suited both his precision and his appreciation for simple, grounded moments.
Henry is survived by his sisters, Diana Rasp, of Arizona, and Linda Miller, of Annville; stepchildren, Gary Light (wife, Amanda), Cindy Fox (husband, Jonathan), and Galen Light; and grandchildren, Jason Ballard, Sam Ballard, George Light, and David Light. Along with his great-grandchildren, Jawaun and Jeyla Ballard, he was preceded in death by the great love of his life, his wife, Dorothy; and granddaughter, Sara Ballard.
Henry will be remembered and missed by those who knew him.
