For ticket and reservation information, please call 870-931-4777. A little background on Gary W. Henry, Jr.: Gary W. Henry, Jr. was born on August 18, 1989. At an early age, Gary developed an interest in art, spending time drawing heroes, monsters, and the like. Due to his dad’s love of KISS, Little Gary, as he was affectionately known, became an avid fan as a youngster, able to name most songs and every member of the band. As he grew older, he developed an interest in cartooning. He and two friends even started their own comic book company with their own original characters. He had a serious desire to continue his studies in sequential art (storyboarding and comic book illustration). On May 6, 2007, at the age of 17, Gary suffered a drowning accident at Lake Norfork in Mountain Home, Arkansas, and spent nine days in the Arkansas Children's Hospital on life support. Unfortunately, his brain damage was too severe, and he was removed from life support on May 15, 2007, leaving behind a loving family, girlfriend, and a great many friends. |
