Christopher M. Howes, age 58, reunited with family on December 10, 2025. Born April 1, 1967 to Nancy Jane Howes (nee Lee) and the late Ronald Bruce Howes, Sr. Devoted Husband of the late Kimberly Williams Howes. Loyal brother of the late Bruce (Joyce), Howes, Denise Howes Payne, Jim (Meg) Howes, Andy (Pat) Howes, and Karen Landis. Uncle to Alexandra, Nathan, Matthew, Emilie, and Vicky Howes and Kristina Howes Winn.
Chris had an artist's soul. He studied art and sculpture at the Savannah College of Art and Design. His day job though was designing everything from toys, WWE action figures, candles, and business promo items to silver table centerpieces. He sculpted portraits of world famous personalities and characters from block buster films, television, music, and politicians for a producer of rubber ducks. Everything he made was meant to make people smile. If it didn't do that, then he didn't waste his time.
Services for Chris are taking place privately, at the convenience of the family.
Moore Family Funeral Homes in service to Chris' loved ones.
