Hoghead attended both Fair Street and Butler High School and worked for many years in the poultry and truck driving industry. He had a passion for family, helping others and laughter. Those who knew Hoghead knows that he truly relished his family and friends he made during his time.

Hoghead loved playing the lottery, family gatherings, and listening to old school music.  He appeared to have a hard exterior but had a very caring and compassionate soul.  There was no step or half, he made sure that we were united as one family.  He touched the lives of many people with his smile and his trademark raspy voice.

Henry “Hoghead” Cantrell Sr., will forever be missed.  May our father, brother, grandfather, uncle, friend, and now one of Gods Angels rest peacefully.
