Howard was preceded in death by his father, William Leslie Hunt.
Howard loved reading about cars and working on them. He was a huge fan of Oklahoma Sooners (OU) football, the KC Chiefs and KC Royals. He enjoyed traveling with his brothers and friends to football and baseball games.
Howard was a child of God and loved the Lord and the church. He served as a Deacon at 151st Street Church of Christ in Olathe, KS for over 20 years. He was also on the board of directors for Christian Family Services of the Midwest and was the auctioneer for several of their fundraisers. At the time of his passing, he attended Concord Road Church of Christ in Brentwood, TN. He loved and cherished all of his church family.
Howard was described as a kind, gentle and devoted friend and co-worker. He was a protective, loving and caring, husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
