The world of professional snooker has paused in reflection following a deeply personal announcement shared by Senior Snooker Coach Chris Henry and his wife, Jackie, prompting an outpouring of empathy, solidarity, and encouragement from across the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) community.

In a brief but heartfelt statement released earlier, the couple acknowledged that they are currently navigating challenging personal circumstances. While specific details were respectfully withheld, their message struck a powerful chord throughout the sport, reminding many that even those working at the highest levels face moments of profound difficulty away from the spotlight.

Players, officials, and fans from around the globe have since united in support, sending messages of compassion and strength to the Henry family. Several figures within the WPBSA praised Chris Henry’s long-standing contributions to snooker, highlighting his professionalism, dedication, and positive influence on countless players over the years.

In their statement, Chris and Jackie expressed sincere gratitude for the kindness shown to them, while politely requesting privacy and understanding as they focus on their family and personal well-being during this time.

The WPBSA has also acknowledged the announcement, reinforcing its support for Henry and emphasizing the importance of compassion and unity within the snooker family.

As the sport continues its competitive journey, this moment serves as a powerful reminder that humanity always comes first.
