Henry Philip Byham

Henry Philip Byham, cherished son and beloved little brother, passed away on July 31, 2025, at Akron Children’s Hospital after a brave battle with brain cancer. He was born on October 6, 2022, in Meadville, Pennsylvania, to his devoted parents, Sean M. Byham and Carole L. Bracken Byham.

Henry brought joy and laughter to all who knew him. He loved music, playing peek-a-boo, and sharing giggles over “stinky feet.” His gentle spirit and cheerful disposition made him a great patient, enduring his challenges with remarkable strength and grace.

Henry leaves behind his loving parents, Sean and Carole, and his three adoring siblings, Anna, Micah, and Lucy, all of whom will cherish his memory. He is also survived by his paternal grandparents, Russ and Ellen Byham of Saegertown, and maternal grandparents, Mark and Sherry Bracken of Tennessee. His extended family includes uncles and aunts Charlie (Jenna) Bracken, Patrick (Lena) Byham, Brendan (Rhetta) Byham, Caitlin Byham, Aidan Byham, and Sheena Byham, along with cousins Levi, Natalie, Isaac, Zipporah, and Benaiah. He held a special place in the hearts of his great grandparents, Maryann Byham of Meadville, Philip and Annie Bracken of Saegertown, Richard and Evelyn Allen of Florida, and Lynne Senkarik of Florida. He was preceded in death by his great grandfather, Jack Byham, in 2024.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM, officiated by Pastor Tim Jordan. Following the service, Henry will be laid to rest by his family at Greendale Cemetery.
