Henzel was clearly well liked and respected by Chapecoense, with the club paying tribute to him in a statement following his death.
Their statement read:
“Throughout his brilliant career, Rafael told the story of Chapecoense.
“He was a symbol of the club’s reconstruction and he will always be remembered in the green and white pages of this institution.”
