Sunday, the 7th of April 2024, Henri V. du Pont, age 58, our Darling, dad, friend, brother, cousin and uncle left us peacefully in the comfort of his home in Greenville, Delaware.

Henri was a kind and gentle soul, always optimistic, a dreamer who always had new ideas.

He loved his 3 children immensely and was an amazing father. He also was a wonderful and kind husband who always believed in his wife. His love for music was well known, his favorite bands were the Grateful Dead and Phish, and he would often go to concerts with his buddies.

He loved to sail and dreamed of owning a sailboat and travelling around the world.

Henri was loved by his many friends that he met throughout the years, including those he met at Tatnall, the Hill School, the Deck school and later on at the University of Delaware.

Throughout his life Henri had many endeavors, his love for technology and new discoveries were his passions.

He was very knowledgeable in Astronomy and was looking forward to the next solar eclipse.
