Bennie "Ben" Howard

A cherished brother, husband, uncle, and friend to so many, he touched countless lives with his generous spirit. From my earliest memories until his final days, Daddy gave me what I now know was life's most precious gift - his time and his presence. Just like Jesus showed us through His love, Daddy demonstrated what unconditional love truly means. Even after my parents' paths diverged and he found new happiness in another marriage, he and my mom showed me what friendship and respect look like. I cherish that to this day. Looking back at our journey together, I smile thinking of all the life lessons he wove into every moment. My heart swells remembering how his face would light up whenever he'd proudly tell anyone who'd listen, "That's my daughter right there!" I'll miss you, Daddy.
