Harold Cade "Howie" Hardgrave

Harold Cade Hardgrave, aka, Howie, 51 of Pensacola, FL passed away on March 19, 2025, at 12:54 a.m. He was born in Kalamazoo, MI on January 23, 1974, to his parents, Glenn Hardgrave and Helen Stackpole.
Howie had just a few jobs since he was a very loyal gentleman. His longest was at beloved Zekes Marina aboard the Zekes Lady, who he only fully retired from last year, because of illness. He started delivering parts for Napa part-time a few years ago and they welcomed him full-time, when he retired from Zekes. Howie met some amazing friends who have become close family, even to us, now at both of those jobs.
His family has been members of the Church of Christ his whole life, and the last couple of years he enjoyed going to Gateway Church of Christ with family and found comfort making even more friends.
He is preceded in death by family and friends. However, he is survived by many who cherish his memories, love, and will miss him.
The family invites family and friends to join them on Celebrating Howie's final journey and the Legacy of Howie on Sunday, March 30, 2025, starting at 2:00 p.m., and the service will begin at 2:30 p.m., at The Gulf Restaurant at the Pass in Orange Beach, AL. Then at Zekes Marina at 4:00 p.m., Boat leaves the for Sunset Parade.
