CLE ELUM -- It almost feels like everyone in Ellensburg is heartbroken by Henry's death.

The 4 year-old was killed yesterday.

The community is now rallying to help Henry's family.

Both of Henry's parents work at CWU and it goes without saying, this is a major loss for the family.

Gary Hyatt's boss, Jack Bishop, said, "They were a very close family, they were totally, both Gary and Jenna were totally dedicated to their kids."

Bishop tells Action News, he saw Henry and his brother, Tommy, around the office at least three days a week.

He described Henry as a smiling little blond who was also well mannered.

"I think the devastation for the parents and the other brother and the people who were there, I mean, it's just an extremely tragic accident," Bishop added.

Neighbors at Sky Meadows Ranch say it's common to see kids out sledding and riding snowmobiles.

They've seen a few accidents, but nothing as serious as the one that killed Henry.

Both departments where Henry's parents work are planning on donating money to help pay for the boy's funeral.

They're also looking into sending meals to the Hyatt's for 10 days.
