Mr. Howard is survived by his brothers, William Moss Howard of Knoxville, TN, and Vincent Howard Edwards of Providence, RI, as well as numerous cousins.
Mr. Howard was a 1974 graduate of McKenzie High School, where he was a member of one of the great football teams in the school’s history. He went on to Memphis State University (now University of Memphis) and played football there. In addition to his love for football, Mr. Howard was an avid golfer. In his professional life, Mr. Howard was a sales agent for Aflac Insurance. He was happiest, however, when enjoying the fellowship of friends and family.
