With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved father, Henry “Hank” Belis, who left this world on July 22, 2026.

Born to Luis and Catalina Belis, brother to 10 siblings. Succeeded by his children Henry Jr., Valerie, Melissa, Joseph, Abrenn, Hannah, Gabriela, and Ethan, along with 18 grandchildren who will forever carry his love, wisdom, and memories in their hearts.

Henry was so much more than a father—he was our protector, provider, teacher, and biggest supporter. He dedicated his life to making sure his children never went without. His love was unconditional, his heart generous, and his strength carried our family through both the good times and difficult ones. The love for his family knew no limits.

Although our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that his love will continue to guide us every day. The lessons he taught us, the sacrifices he made, and the love he gave will remain with us forever.

Thank you for every hug, every word of encouragement, and every moment you spent loving us. You were our rock, our hero, and our safe place. In our memories we keep your smile, laughter, guidance, and presence.

Forever loved, forever missed. Rest in peace, Dad.
