Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Mr. Hendricks was so much more than my advisor and mentor. He was a true friend. It was an honor to have known such a great person and I will truly miss him.

I’m so sorry for yalls loss. I just found out today. And it breaks my heart. He was there for me when I was going through a hard time with my divorce. He was my instructor during that time. He was a awesome instructor he would tell me everything will be OK and of course he was right. I just know I’m here for yall always. He would tell us students lots of stories about all of yall. He talked a lot about Jordan. I guess I said enough I will be praying for yall.
