A Donegal mountain rescue team said Mr Henderson went into cardiac arrest while climbing. Paramedics, who were also hiking on the mountain, tried to resuscitate him.
Although airlifted by a Coast Guard helicopter, he was pronounced dead on arrival at Letterkenny University Hospital.
Mr Henderson married his wife Caroline at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Dunlewey, Gweedore in 2012, home to Caroline’s late mother Maeve Ryan.
They loved the area and, with their children, Aibhilín, Rían, and Caoimhe, they were regular visitors. They owned a caravan close by and went on holiday there all the time.
