John Henry Pina (July 10, 1930 - January 17, 2022)

It is with a heavy heart that I say my Father is finally at peace. I want to thank everyone for all of your prayers and well wishes. My dad fought a good fight, but it was time for him to rejoice with the Lord.

Henry died at the young age of 91 at his home in Lubbock, Texas. He was born in Rising Star, TX to the late Juan and Elena Pina, their first born. He had four brothers and four sisters.

Henry has four children Ester, Estella, and Manuel Pina from Lubbock and Esperanza Dablia from Slaton, 15 grandchildren, 52 great-grandchildren and 41 great-great grandchildren.
Henry was very much loved by his family and friends. He will be greatly missed. He was in the care of Hospice of the South Plains for the last four years with the best group of caring caregivers. Thank you so much Jamie, Heather, Jane, David and Lensey. We love you.
