Henry Gibbs Carico, 32, of Fairview, MT went to God Thursday, June 15, 2017 in Fairview, MT. He has finally found peace, and his internal struggles are past. His memory will be with us forever.
Henry was born on November 3, 1984 in Seattle, WA to Russell and Harriet (Weston) Carico. Henry's mom worked for the National Park Service so Henry moved about every four years but got to live in some incredible places. He lived in Jackson, Wyoming, moved to Anchorage, Alaska and then to the Grand Canyon. In 1997, the family moved to the Fairview area where they still live today.
After moving here, Henry attended schools in Bainville and Fairview. He worked in the area most of his adult life. He knew many farmers and ranchers through his work at the elevators and through working with livestock. He was well liked for his humor and his trying to make the customer happy.
Henry often said he wanted to “Just try and do the right thing” for his family, job, and life. He deeply loved his daughter, his family, his friends, and animals of all types. One of his great joys was to go canoeing on the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. One year he managed to almost wear out a canoe, because he spent so much time on the water. He also enjoyed fishing with his dog Charlie, grilling and cooking, working with livestock, watching the Broncos play, and spending time with his friends and family. He will be remembered as a gentle man who always had a joke or story to share and who rarely shared his personal troubles with others.
Henry is survived by his daughter, Abbigayle Carico; parents, Russell and Harriet Carico; his brother, Russ (Susan) Carico; and his nieces, Eleanor and Eliza Carico, all of Fairview, MT.
Henry was preceded in death by: his paternal grandparents, Lee (Della) Carico; maternal grandparents, Henry (Estella) Weston; aunt and uncle, Genevieve and Kenneth Boedeighemier; and uncle Henry “Roy” Weston.
