Gage Christopher Henderson was born August 1, 2002, in Austell, GA, and left this earth too soon, February 18, 2022, in Dallas, GA. He is survived by his parents Coleman and Michelle; brother, Seth; sister, Cadence; grandmother, Joanne Henderson, all of Dallas, GA; grandfathers, William Pupello of Clearwater, FL and David Beech of Woodstock, GA; uncles, Dwight Henderson of Dallas, GA, Mark Pupello of Albany, NY, Josh Brown of East Greenbush, NY, and Andrew Brown of Wolf Creek, OR; aunts, Heather Zinzow of Ravena, NY and Pamela Mead of Rensselaer, NY, and a very large East Paulding Raider Family, mostly of Dallas, GA. He was predeceased by grandmother, Colette Beech.

Gage was a 2021 graduate of East Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia.  Gage was a part of the East Paulding Raider Football program from 7th grade throughout his senior year.  A true Raider at heart, Gage was a force to be reckoned with on and off the field and known as a gentle giant.  His coaches described him as "a gentle, kind, young man who loved his teammates.  He was a hard worker and easy to coach.  In four years, we never had to discipline him.  He was a beautiful human being and a pure blessing to coach."  Gage suffered a shoulder injury during his senior year of football and decided to spend the year following high school graduation allowing his body to heal before starting his next adventure.  He planned to begin boxing soon.  Off the football field, Gage was still the same gentle giant, friend, and teammate offering a smile to those he saw while working at Wal-Mart in Dallas, GA.

Gage's love of life set him apart and his heart possessed more love and compassion than can be imagined. He would spend hours playing Guitar Hero, Tekken, and Call of Duty. Gage was and is well loved by his community, especially his huge Raider Family, including a band of brothers that will miss him but carry his memory forever.
