David Howard Obituary
David Howard was a cherished son, devoted friend, and an extraordinary brother who touched the lives of those around him with his warmth and laughter. He brought joy to the lives he touched.
One of David's greatest joys was his deep and abiding love for his nieces and nephews. He reveled in the role of the fun uncle, creating cherished memories with them. His eyes would light up with pure happiness whenever he was in their company. David also loved his animals, of which he had four cats.
David had an infectious spirit that touched everyone he encountered. His contagious laughter left a mark on those that knew him. His genuine smile made the world a better place.
David's passing leaves us with a deep sense of loss, but we choose to remember him for the love and light he brought into our lives. In our grief, we find solace in the memories we shared.
David is survived by his father, David M. Howard Jr., mother, Patricia S. Howard, sister Erin E. (Christopher Beaudreau) Howard of Westerly, brother Matthew B. (Amanda) Howard of East Providence. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.
May David rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love that he so freely gave during his time with us. His memory will forever live on in our hearts.
With our deepest sorrow,
The Howard Family

I hate that I have to say goodbye and that I´m doing so from so far away. Wish I´d gotten to see you one last time, and wish I could be there. Much love brother. RIP Dave. x Samuel

Dave,
You will be missed, you were definitely one of kind. My favorite thing about you will always be your sense of humor. You always made others laugh most of the time at your own expense. I will cherish the memories of us making fun of each other, when you got Davey and became a cat dad and how serious you took it, watching the patriots games with you and you running around the living room like a maniac and watching them win the Super Bowl. You winning that bingo jackpot at Foxwoods and splitting it with me. That time we took Zaira out to eat and she had to have been 5 maybe 6 and you told her we didn't have money and she was going to have to go in the back and wash the dishes . All the times you would always take me out to eat every time we fought even over something small. The election and your obsession with trump and how much we laughed at the debates. I could go on and on we had a lot of good times. Thank you for being you. I truly believe everyone comes to in your life for a reason and when you came into mine I needed all those laughs and sweet times. To the Howard family I'm so sorry. May Dave Rest In Peace.
