Henry was a faithful soul and dedicated warrior for the Lord. He enjoyed attending many churches throughout Carteret County including Salter Path United Methodist Church which is the church he was raised in. His strong belief in the Lord led him to becoming a pastor and he truly had a shepherd’s heart for people.

Henry’s dedication was also proved when he served our country in the United States Army. During his long and fulfilled life he had many business ventures including, Henry Frost Construction of Salter Path, Frost Seafood, Inc. which was based out of St. Augustine, Florida, and Frost Shrimp Stand of Emerald Isle. However, no matter what he did, his passion always came back to salt life, whether it was using his skilled craftmanship to build boats, being a commercial fisherman or being a part of the Salter Path Fisherman Crew, the salt life was his true way of living. Henry loved his family and enjoyed being a father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great grandfather.
