Chris Howard was born on January 13, 1959 and passed away on February 27, 2023 at the age of 64. He was the son of the late Margaret and Gordon Howard, and is preceded in death by his brother Mark Howard. He is survived by his brother Matthew Howard, his two daughters Ellie Howard and Meredith (Howard) Edwards, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews, all of whom he loved very dearly.

Having been born and raised in St. Louis, Chris was passionate about the city he proudly called home. This is shown through his work at City Hall as a Neighborhood Improvement Specialist since 1987. Chris loved the St. Louis Cardinals, Imo's Pizza, and the tiramisu concrete from Ted Drewes. He loved spending time outdoors, cooking for his daughters, and going on road trips. Chris had a sense of humor and a caring, kind-hearted soul that his friends and family will never forget.

Chris is truly at peace. He will be deeply missed by his loved ones and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

All are welcome to attend the memorial service at Michel Funeral Home.

MEMORIAL SERVICE: Wednesday, March 22 at 3:00 pm – 5:00 p.m. at Michel Funeral Home 5930 Southwest Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63139.

My deepest condolences to Chris´ family. As a lifelong city resident I´m grateful to Chris for his chosen career of effectively improving the quality of life on the "frontlines"
for St. Louis City residents. The results of his efforts will live on for the benefit of countless STL families. Rest in Peace and thank you, Chris.

Chris we will miss your great sense of humor, and your kind ways. You were very instrumental and helping to put together the problem property program, which was truly appreciated.

I am so sorry for your loss. Chris was a wonderful co-worker and I know he will be missed by many especially his daughters. He always spoke highly of them and was a proud girl dad. I wish peace to all of his family and friends as they navigate through this journey without him. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend his memorial because I will be recovering from surgery at home but know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
