Eric Howell Obituary
Born on October 11, 2000, Eric was known for his ever-present smile and friendly demeanor. He was approachable and loved engaging in conversations, which made him well-loved among his peers and community.
Eric pursued a career as a welder, a profession where he applied his skills with precision and dedication.
Beyond his professional life, he was passionate about art and fishing, hobbies that he cherished deeply, providing him moments of joy and relaxation.
Eric leaves behind his loving family: his mother, Nancy Lamb Howell; his father, Steven Louis Howell; and his sisters, Megan Lauren Howell and Elle Kate Howell. He is also remembered by his grandfather, Joe Poutra Lamb; aunts, uncles, and their families, as well as a wide circle of friends who cherished his presence in their lives.
In place of traditional services, dedications and memorials in memory of Eric will be organized at a later date.
Those wishing to honor Eric's memory are encouraged to make contributions to The Foundation for Art & Healing, an organization that aligns with his love for art and its therapeutic benefits.
May Eric's memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire acts of kindness and creativity.

Eric, words cannot describe how much I miss you. You were my big brother, but also my best friend, someone I could go to when times got tough, but also when I wanted a good, genuine laugh. I will forever remember and cherish our many memories together as kids, and also as young adults. You were truly the most loving, hard-working, and selfless person I know. You were a light in all our lives. I am beyond grateful to have had a brother like you. I love you forever, Eric Bear.

Eric, you left us way too soon, brother. I´m beyond grateful for all the memories we made growing up, the laughs we shared, and our talks about trying to "adult". I miss you more than you´ll ever know. Love you, always.

Words can´t express the loss everyone is feeling. I love you forever my brother, you were a huge part of my life and shaped me as a person throughout the time we spent together. Every time I step on a skateboard, ride a moped, hot tub, see moth or a "moon walker" as my boy would call them. I´m thinking of you. I love you bro I need another hug
