TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- With deepest regret, I must announce the untimely passing of Chief Master Sgt. James A. Henley, Chief Enlisted Manager of the 349th Medical Squadron, who died Saturday, Oct. 29, in Hawaii from complications of pancreatic cancer. He was 43.

Chief Henley brought diverse experience and knowledge to his position in the 349 MDS. In civilian life, he was a life-flight paramedic and prior to joining the Air Force Reserve, he had served as a corpsman in the U.S. Navy. The chief's decade-long tenure with the 349th included service as the first sergeant of the 349 MDS, and later, of the 349th Mission Support Squadron. He is survived by his son, Kyle; his former wife, Janice; and many friends at Travis Air Force Base and in the civilian community.

Please keep Chief Henley's loved ones in your thoughts and prayers in this time of bereavement. Memorial arrangements will be announced at a later date.
