He joined the ranks of the fire department in April of 1998.
His colleagues said he had a presence and personality “larger than life,” and was a friend to all that knew him.
“Our SAFD family extends our most sincere condolences and sympathy to the Henshaw family, and hope they all know that they will forever be a part of our family... We ask that you keep the Henshaw family in your thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time,” the department previously said in a statement.
