Mr. Howard Randolph Biggers Jr., of Charlotte went to be home with the Lord November 24, 2018. He was cared for by his loving wife, Linda, until his very last moments when he went peacefully in his sleep with her at his side.

Howard was born December 4, 1927 and accomplished many things throughout his lifetime. Howard graduated from McCallie School in Chattanooga, TN and went on to obtain degrees from both the University of Miami and Davidson College. He was the first in Charlotte to be diagnosed with polio as a child and overcame many hardships afterward. He was also the youngest president of the Frozen Food Association at one time, and was the CEO of Biggers Brothers Inc. for more than forty years. Howard was on many boards, a long standing member of the Charlotte Country Club, and a Charter member of Carmel Baptist Church.

Howard is survived by his wife, Linda Biggers, of thirty-one years; son, Howard Biggers III (Cindy) of Charlotte, daughter, Lisa Biggers Brockenbrough (Edward) Of Charlotte; step-son, John-Robert Greene (Karen) of Houston, TX; sister, Carol Biggers Dabbs of Charlotte; and grandchildren, William Garrett Biggers, Anthony Blackman Biggers, Alexander Brogen Outlaw (Brockenbrough), Edward Henry Brockenbrough VI, Belle Ovelia Brockenbrough, James Aiden Brockenbrough, Opal Dahlia Brockenbrough, Gavin Nicholas Greene, Nathaniel "Nate" Greene, and Gabriel James Greene as well as a multitude of nieces and nephews.

To this day, 11/20/22, I share stories that Mr. Biggers told to inspire friends and family. He, once shared a story about saving all your coin change and how the accumulation would grow into a very large amount of money. He also shared a personal story about himself that helped define his character. He was someone like my Marine Corps Senior Drill Instructor, Captain Robert Roller (R.I.P.) that you didn´t want to disappoint. Rest in Peace Mr. Biggers.

I worked for Mr. Biggers in the early 1980's for about 4 years. I was a dispatcher on the third shift and was one of the best job experiences. Mr. Biggers would share personal stories to all to provide wisdom and to help us learn how to save money. He often did this while providing dinners. I have yet to work for anyone as nice as Mr. Howard Biggers Junior. May he Rest In Peace.

My sincere condolences to the Biggers family. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. May God's loyal love give you a measure of peace and comfort during this difficult time of sadness, Psalms 119:76.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. May the hope that the inspired words of John6:40 give you comfort. There we are promised the hope of being reunited with our loved ones again.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Howard Biggers. I have known him most of my life and have many fond memories. He was a great man with vision and compassion. We can all aspire to be more like Howard. He has left a legacy to be proud of. He was a friend to many but especially to my Dad and Mother Bill and Billie Hood. I am grateful for all the friendship he offered throughout the years. He will be missed

Mrs. Linda, Robbie and Family,

I am saddened to hear of Mr. HR's passing. He was truly one of a kind. I will never forget the first time I met him when you two came to oversee the moving in efforts in the dorm and then our apartment. I always enjoyed talking with HR. He always was nice to me and always had an idea about how we should do a task. I pray for God's Peace to be with you all and will pray for you all in the days and weeks to come. I am better for having known HR. Safe travels to Robbie, Karen and kids! Hope that you all are well! Chip Green and Karen Green

My prayers for Linda, Howie, and the rest of his family. The most admired man in my business career and 31 years with his company. Smart, clever, astute, impish, and helpful in every way as long as he knew you were on his team. Thank you sir. RIP.

I always had great admiration for Mr. Biggers. I worked at Biggers Brothers from 1978 to 1987. He was always very gracious to everyone he met. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with his family
