Burt Winston Hendrickson Remembered By Loved Ones

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Burt Winston Hendrickson lost his battle with esophageal cancer at the age of 55-years-old on Jan. 20, 2018. He was the Vice President of Engineering/Digital Imaging of Adobe at the time of his death.

Born in 1962 in Laguna Beach, the son of Caroline and Bert Hendrickson, he graduated from UC Riverside with a degree in Computer Science, then attended Stanford University Graduate School of Business. Hendrickson began his career with Apple Computer in 1988, where he continued to work with Adobe for over 18 years.

He was a father, leader, photographer--with special attention to sports photography, beginning with his daughter's softball games and then NFL games, shooting images of his favorite teams, the Atlanta Falcons and the Miami Dolphins.

Friends describe him as humorous, laid back, down to earth and humble. He loved traveling with his family, followed his daughters to numerous softball tournaments, and was a lover of photographing nature and wildlife across California.

Hendrickson leaves behind his wife, Teresa, three daughters: Danielle,Brittany and Lauren. He is also survived by his nephew, Stephen, whom he treated as a son, his grandson Grayson, mother Caroline and brother Will, brothers in law Steve and Danny Estrada, and two sisters in law. He is survived by multiple nephews and nieces as well as five God children.

Family and friends are asked to contribute to his memory, rather than flowers or gifts, in the support of esophageal cancer research. www.crowdrise.com
