Henry Edward Flores, 20, lovingly known as “Hank the Tank,” passed away Sunday, Dec.14, 2025.
He was born Feb.16, 2005, and lived a life filled with joy, energy and a heart that spoke louder than words.
He was an active tribal member of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians and proudly graduated from Blair Oaks High School, Class of 2024.
Energetic and full of life, Henry found happiness in swimming, road trips, and trips to Target—especially reorganizing the shelves to make sure everything was exactly where it belonged.
His greatest loves were Mountain Dew and his beloved Tutter. He spent each day eagerly waiting for his brothers to come home from school, ready for side-by-side rides, making fires out back, or keeping everyone on their toes with his shenanigans. Henry also loved to bake with his mom, cookies being his specialty,
He was preceded in death by father, Michael Flores; and grandparents Geraldine Flores, Delmer Backues, and Eddie Flores.
Henry is survived by loving mother, Kyla Tungate and fiancé Casey Towne; brothers, Kirby Drewel and Alex Wagner; sister, Autumn Flores; grandparents, Caroline and George Pelc and Henry Tungate; aunt and uncle Kevin and Brittani Garcia and their five children who adored him; as well as many extended family members and friends.
Funeral services were held Saturday, Dec. 20, at Sassmann’s Chapel in Belle. Interment was in Liberty Cemetery.
Henry will be remembered for his joyful spirit, boundless energy and the love he gave so freely.
Arrangements entrusted to Sassmann’s Chapel in Belle.
