Officer Henry was born on September 6, 1969 in Harrisburg, PA.  A 1987 graduate of Lower Dauphin High School he loved Hummelstown and the many friendships he made.  Following High School, Michael joined the Army and was a member of the 4th of the 9th Field Artillery Delta Battery stationed in Germany from 1987-1990 where he had an honorable discharge to pursue his passion for law enforcement, specifically Derry Township Police Department.  He was a 1996 graduate of Penn State University with a BS in Criminal Justice, and a 1997 graduate of the 68th Pennsylvania State Police Academy where he was Class President. He continued his love for the military with his service in the PA Army National Guard until 1995.

His family was his number one priority.  He loved spending time with his wife, Jackie, and two children. He took great pride in watching his daughter, Samantha, compete in collegiate gymnastics for Kent State University and his son, Zachary, play Hershey Youth Flag Football and ice hockey for Hershey, and The Palmyra Black Knights. He also loved vacationing with his family and friends during beach trips, camping outings and sporting events.
