Howard Betsa Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cannon Cleveland Funeral Directors - East Chapel on May 2, 2025.
Howard Michael Betsa, 72, passed away on October 8, 2024. Born on March 17, 1952, Howard grew up with a passion for sports and spent much of his life as a well-loved and respected softball coach, known for his dedication and influence on the many athletes he mentored.
A successful roofing consultant by trade, Howard built a reputation as a hardworking and accomplished businessman. He was a man of few words, but his wisdom and kindness left a lasting impact on those who had the honor of knowing him.
Howard was preceded in death by his father, John, and mother, Cecil Mae. He is survived by his three children, Kendel Ratliff, Megan Hebert, and Brandon Betsa; his brothers John and Steve (Terry) Betsa; and his niece and nephew, Anna and Nicholas Betsa.
