** Additional info added by his sister: He attended Northern High School until his junior year. Affectionally known as Howie, he enjoyed video games, country music, hunting, fishing & generally just being outside in nature. I fixed his hair and make-up after he was deceased because he would have wanted me to make him look exactly how he lived. Not always the greatest guy, he had a heart of gold and often stopped to give money to the poor when he didn’t even have money to give; that’s how he was. We didn’t always get along but when we did we were singing karaoke at West End (or wherever they were having it that night), playing cards (he loved spades and cheated most times, lol), or just hanging out in Dad’s basement playing pool and singing to the walls. I miss him everyday. 33 was way too young to be taken from my life, especially when he was the only sibling I had. 6 years later I had to bury my dad from cancer and my mother moved back to Oklahoma. We miss you and love you Howie, forever and always!
