Henry Too Cheseto was born in Kapenguria West Pokot County, Kenya July 1st, 1993. He is the 6th of 11 children.
Henry graduated high school in 2012 and earned a full scholarship to University of Alaska Anchorage (fall 2014) where pursued a degree in Medical laboratories. He transferred to Butler College fall 2018 to pursue Nursing. As a student athlete in University of Alaska, Cheseto was a two-time All-American in cross country finishing as high as third in 2015.
He was a two-time NCAA West Region champion and twice won the GNAC Championship. Cheseto won two GNAC titles in track and field and was a six-time All-GNAC selection.
Among Cheseto’s survivors is his brother, Marko, who also was a member of the UAA cross-country and track & field program from (2009-11) and recently set the world record time 2:52.33 (6:35 pace) for a below the knee bilateral/double amputee on prosthetics at the New York City Marathon
Those who know him can attest that Henry was a funny and loving person.
He lost his life in a tragic accident in Andover, Wichita Kansas on Wednesday 12/12/2018. He was 25.
Henry is survived by his Mom and 10 siblings including Marco Cheseto of Groveland, Florida. We are therefore raising funds to assist his family to cover the costs of shipping his remains to his home country Kenya and funeral expenses.
May the good Lord rest his soul in peace
