It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Hugh Howell Jr., who passed away on March 13, 2024, at the age of 79. Born on November 17, 1944, Hugh lived a life characterized by dedication, love, and resilience. His absence will be profoundly felt by those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.

Hugh was an extraordinary family man who took immense pride in his children and their accomplishments. His family was his greatest achievement, and he leaves behind a legacy of strength and devotion. He is survived by his son, Hugh Howell III, to whom he passed on his name and many of his admirable traits.

Beyond being a father, Hugh was also a beloved father-in-law. Ann Hester, his daughter-in-law, shared a special bond with Hugh that transcended the usual in-law relationship. The same can be said for his other daughter-in-law, Regina Howell, who found in Hugh a second father.

Hugh was a patriarch to his sons Brian and Alan Howell, shaping their characters and guiding their paths. He imparted to them his values and principles, which will live on in their lives. His daughter-in-law, Lisa Howell, experienced the warmth of his fatherly love and the wisdom of his life’s experiences.

Hugh's life was rich with experiences, challenges, and triumphs. He possessed an innate ability to inspire everyone he knew. His family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched will remember him as a beacon of unwavering strength and love. The legacy of Hugh Howell Jr. will continue to live and thrive through the lives of his loved ones.

May he rest in eternal peace and may his memory continue to be a source of inspiration and strength to all who knew him. The world is truly a lesser place without Hugh Howell Jr.
