"Stop saying that please. We're going back out tomorrow, Glenn and I--We're going to hit another pharmacy further away--get something else for you. Something to help the doc take care of this infection. You'll see. It'll all be fine. You'll see. You'll--Scott?"

- Heath to a dying Scott.

Heath is a African-American supply runner and resident living in the Alexandria Safe-Zone.

Post-Apocalypse
Heath and Scott were best friends while in the community, and the two of them frequently went out on supply runs together. While Scott lay in critical condition following an accident during one of their trips, Heath hooked up with the doctor, Denise Cloyd. Heath was very loyal to Douglas Monroe, and like Regina and a handful of other residents, was highly suspicious of Rick Grimes and his band of survivors. He is seen in Issue 72, quietly around the party for Rick and his group to welcome them to the community, although he didn't talk to many except for Dr. Cloyd. Although Barbara tried to see if Michonne would like to date Heath, there was no real interaction or interest shown between them.

Alexandria Safe-Zone Chaos
In Issue 79, Heath and Denise's previously-discreet relationship is exposed after they're caught by Andrea, Rick, and a wounded eric as they go to her house for medical assistance..

In Issue 81, Heath joins Glenn on the rescue mission to aid Andrea trapped in the nearby watchtower. The plan is to deliver food safely her way and lead some of the zombies away from the wall. When the rope between the community wall and a building outside breaks, Heath is trapped on the other side along with Glenn, Andrea, and Spencer.

In Issue 84, Heath and others arrive back to the Safe-Zone, to see that everyone is chopping zombies successfully. In the next issue, 85, he's seen dragging limp corpses into fire piles.

As Glenn, Maggie, and Sophia wish to join the Hilltop, Heath, along with Rick, Carl and Michonne, he goes on the trip until they get there. Heath is functional as a driver. As they are captured and held hostage by the Saviors, Negan states that he doesn't want to kill Heath because of his skin color. Negan then makes it up to coincidence who should be beaten up. Heath was close to being chosen, but Negan chose Glenn. Heath watches as Glenn's skull is destroyed. When the Saviors leaves, Heath is seen crying over the loss.

Denise, also alone within the confines of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, gave Heath someone to connect with as she had seen him the most during his darkest times. As Eric and Aaron returned from a doomed recruiting mission, Andrea lead the injured Eric to Denise's where the survivors would find her and Heath in the throws of passion, much to everyone's initial shock. However, Heath confided in the relationship stating that it just happened that way and as time moved forward, Denise would show concern for his safety during his continued scouting missions.
