Joseph Sharber Howell III
May 23, 2022
Fort Worth, Texas - Joe Howell passed away in Fort Worth on May 23, 2022, after sustaining a heart attack and subsequent medical complications. He was 79 years old.
Joe will be remembered fondly by his many friends in Fort Worth, by his fellow parishioners at the First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth, and by his long-time fraternity brothers at University of Texas, who knew him by his college nickname, "Sweet Pea".
Joe grew up in Grand Prairie, attending Grand Prairie High School, before getting his Bachelor of Business Administration Degree at the University of Texas at Austin in 1963. He later went on to receive a Master of Business Administration Degree from SMU in 1971.
After graduation, he spent his entire professional career in real estate development in and around Fort Worth, and around the State. His crowning project was the CandleRidge Development Project in S.W. Fort Worth, which today is a thriving real estate, housing and retail complex that is home and work to thousands of Fort Worth residents.
Joe is survived by his children, Perry Sharman and her husband John Sharman, and Sharber Howell, and by Joe's brother, Larry Howell.
There will be a small informal memorial service for Joe on Sunday, August 28th at 12:30pm, following the 11:11 Service at The Historic 512 Building, 2nd Floor Ballroom, 512 W. 4th Street, downtown Ft. Worth.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth.
