Eric Howell Obituary
Eric Howell, a cherished soul known for his handy skills, interesting tales, and kind heart, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2025, in Lake Wales, FL, at the age of 64. Born on July 28, 1960, in Tampa, FL, Eric's life was a testament to the love and joy he brought to those around him.
Eric spent his formative years in Tampa, where he cultivated a deep appreciation for the outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, finding solace in the quiet of nature. His passion for the earth extended to his garden, where he nurtured plants with the same patience and care he showed to his family and friends.
A man of many talents, Eric was known for his ability to fix anything with his hands. His craftsmanship and ingenuity were not only practical but also a source of pride and admiration. Eric's interesting stories of his adventures and life experiences were a staple at family gatherings, where his presence was a warm and comforting constant.
Eric was a beloved father, brother, son, and grandfather. He is survived by his son Robbie Howell, who was the apple of his eye, and a legacy of loving memories. His mother, Dorothy Marie Howell, will forever remember Eric's kind and gentle spirit. Eric's brothers, Kent Howell and his wife Carolyn, along with Tracy Howell and his partner Mille, will miss their brother's companionship and unwavering support. Though his father, John T. Howell Jr., predeceased him, Eric upheld the family values and traditions that were instilled in him from a young age. Eric's many grandchildren will carry forward his teachings and the countless joyful moments they shared.
Eric's life was a beautiful tapestry of dedication to his loved ones, his work, and his hobbies. He was a source of strength and inspiration, touching the lives of all who knew him with his kindness and generosity. Eric's absence will be deeply felt, but his spirit will live on through the cherished memories he has left behind.
As we say farewell to Eric Howell, we celebrate the remarkable man he was. His legacy of love, laughter, and the simple joys of life will continue to guide and comfort us. Eric's journey on earth may have concluded, but the impact of his life will resonate for generations to come. Rest in peace, dear Eric, until we meet again.
