August 8, 1945 - December 3, 2024 David L. Howry, 79, passed away on December 3, 2024, in Yuma,AZ. Born on August 8, 1945, David dedicated his life to his family and his work in construction, retiring from BLT Cos. after many years of service with The Tanners Cos.

David was a man who never met a stranger, a testament to his warm and welcoming personality. He deeply enjoyed hunting, fishing, driving his jeep, and sharing jokes and beers with his friends, making memories that will be cherished by all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Cheri; daughters, Dana Miles and Treva Wellard; grandsons, Tanner Miles, Jaysen Brooks, and Kash Wellard; sister, Twyla Daily (Mike, his favorite brother-in-law); nephews, Justin, Adam (Bobbie Jo) Daily, and Collin and Vivien; along with numerous cousins. David was preceded in death by his wonderful parents, Roy and Pauline Howry.

David's impact on his community and loved ones will not be forgotten. In lieu of services, contributions can be made to a charity of your choice in memory of David.

I worked with Dave as did my Father and Grandfather. Just a good soul that seemed to love and respect everyone.

I´m sitting here trying to find the right words to describe how much I love this family. They were my adopted parents, a place to stop by and have a beer or tell a good story. But , it was more than that ....it was family, friendship and great memories. I know Dave is not in pain anymore, and he is most likely causing trouble in heaven but saying farewell is still so very hard. Dave Howry , you will always be in my heart.
