Reece was born on October 30, 2003 at Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital, Hastings Ne to Kelly and Carrie (Mizner) Howell. He loved drawing, he filled reams of computer paper up with his artwork. He collaborated with his siblings and dad on some of his sketches. His mom's favorite cards for special occasions were ones Reece made.
He enjoyed spending 1 on 1 time with his parents, siblings, Grandma, and cousin, Max Mizner. He delighted in spinning fantastical tales of wonder to whomever would listen.
Plants were a joy to Reece. He loved filling tubs and buckets with flowers, plants, and produce. He planted and grew a small watermelon this year, as well as a pepper plant. He planned to grow more this year.
Reece was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on April 2nd, 2019. This disease is hard on everyone, but occasionally diabetes chooses one individual and kicks their ass. Unfortunately for us that individual was Reece.
His life may have been short, but it burned so bright. He touched people's lives all over the world. He died as he was born in his mother's arms.
He is survived by his parents Kelly & Carrie (Mizner) Howell of Kearney; his siblings Rax and Rhea Howell of Kearney; grandma Jo (Fox) Mizner of Kearney; aunts and uncles Shawn & Nikki (Streeter) Mizner and family of Kearney, Randy & Sue (Donahue) Howell and family of Aurora, Mike & Lisa (Carlson) Howell and family of Polk, and Renee Harp of Grand Island.
He was preceded in death by his grandpa, Earl Mizner, and grandparents, Gary and Deloris (Larington) Howell, as well as many beloved pets.
