Paul C. Henderson, 65, of Bluffton, passed away Friday evening, March 28, 2025, at his residence, surrounded by family and friends.
Paul was born in Bluffton on Feb. 2, 1960, to Paul Henderson Jr. and Patricia (Carr) Henderson. Both parents preceded him in death. He married Stacia L. Knight at Park Church in Bluffton on July 2, 1994; she survives.
A 1978 graduate of Bluffton High School, Paul worked as a welder/fabricator for several local businesses for many years, and most recently had worked for B.R.C. Rubber and Plastics for the past nine years. He was a member of the Bluffton Elks Lodge 796 and a member of the Brok’n Axoles Car Club.
Paul enjoyed building and working on things in his garage, especially working on his race car. He also enjoyed gardening, cooking, and music, and loved dancing with his wife on their patio. He will be remembered for his love for all holidays, which gave him a reason to spend time with his family and cook large family dinners.

(Derick) Marshall of Bluffton; a sister, Dorrena “Sue” Henderson of Fort Wayne; and seven grandchildren, Austin Mounsey (Kirsten Patterson), Coltin Mounsey (Dharma Cope), Ashtin Mounsey, Christian Marshall, Melanie Marshall, Addison Marshall and Nolan Henderson.
