Howdy Wayne Plumb was born June 16, 1979, and sadly passed away on December 11, 2025, at the age of 46.

Howdy was a loving father, brother, uncle, and partner, whose life touched many. He had a heart of gold and a deep capacity for kindness, compassion, and understanding. Those who knew him remember his warmth, his gentle spirit, and his ability to care for others, even when he himself was struggling.
Throughout his life, Howdy faced significant challenges, including ongoing mental health struggles. Despite these hardships, he never lost his faith or generosity towards others. He was known for helping others whenever he could. Offering kindness without judgment and compassion without expectation. His circumstances never defined the depth of his love or the goodness of his heart.

Raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Howdy carried with him values of Faith, Love, Forgiveness and the ability to make anyone laugh.

Those who loved him, take comfort in the belief that he is now at peace, free from the burdens he carried in this life, and embraced by healing and rest.

Howdy was preceded in death by his parents, Lane and Ruby Plumb; and brother AJ.

He is survived by his daughter, Adriana; grandson, Xayne; his 3 brothers: Jesse, Billy and Vern; 2 sisters, Katy Chee and Velda Martin; many cousins, nephews, and nieces.

He will be greatly missed, but the love he shared will continue to live on in our memories forever.

A viewing will be held, Friday, December 19th from 5:00-7:00 pm at Owens Livingston Mortuary, 84 E. 19 S., in Snowflake.

UPDATE: The Graveside Service that was originally announced has been canceled. There will be the viewing only on Friday, December 19th.
