Howard Wall Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Woodlawn Funeral Home - Mount Holly on Jan. 31, 2024.
Howard Nelson Wall, age 67 passed away on Tuesday January 30th, 2024 with family and friends surrounding him. Howard never met a stranger, loved his family, and making people laugh. The doctors would say he was a unique and complicated case. He purposely made everyone feel special, Howard would talk to complete strangers and tell them whatever each person needed to make them smile. If he thought they needed a hug he had one to give. This is why he was perfect in his role of Santa. He wanted to keep the magic alive for the children and took this role seriously. Worrying about each child he spoke to and answering every question wisely; the children's eyes would light up and the excitement would be heard in their voices. The role of Santa was hard at times because of what some of the children would ask for. Years later Howard would still tear up at some of the things the children would tell him. He always seemed to know what each child needed whether it was a hug, joke, or candy. He passed with no regrets. Loving the game of golf we shall all see him again on the back 9. Live long and Prosper...Your Sons.'
He wanted to thank his doctors and nurses that took care of him. Dr. Edel and his nurse Virginia "beach." Dr. Shehadeh, Dr. Katsanos, Dr Rawl, Dr. Letts, Dr. Williams, and all the great nurses at Novant Health.
Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife of 39 years Pam Wall; his children: Ian Orion Wall, Jack Galen Wall, and Ben Wall; his brother Steve Wall and Sister Gail Garcia.
A service to celebrate his life will be held at 4:00 P.M. on Sunday February 4, 2024 at Woodlawn Funeral Home in Mount Holly. The family will receive friends from 2:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. on Sunday also at the Funeral home.

He was a brother from a different mother. No matter how much time passed it was like we had not missed a day. Always the same kind, thoughtful and selfless guy he had been since we were young. Sending prayers and hugs to the family.

I´m so sorry for your loss Pam. I will miss seeing you and Howard´s amazing smile and his sense of humor! Howard was always so happy and had a positive attitude was a blessing to us all. Howard will forever be remembered and deeply missed. Since Howard loved his sweets, I´m planning to make a plate of cookies in Howard´s memory to share with my grandchildren.

He may have mentioned that he was kind of an exemplary student and that he loved Sister Mary Dennis.
