Obituary of Richard L. Howard
On Thursday, December 23, 2021, Richard "Rick" Lawrence Howard died peacefully at home of natural causes. Rick was born June 26, 1967 to Lawrence and Nancy Howard (nee Kresanek). Rick is a 1985 Waukesha South High School Graduate and earned a Degree in Electrical Engineering from WCTC. Rick treasured his extended family and friends and enjoyed many good times with his loved ones. He was a sports enthusiast - a Packer, Badger, Bucks and especially a Brewer's Fan. Rick was an avid fisherman, hunter, and skier. Rick loved to travel and was an exceptional cook. All of us that loved him will agree that at age 54, it was far too short. With a lifetime of memories, Rick will be forever missed by so many.
Rick is survived by his Parents, bothers; Daniel Howard of Waukesha and Douglas Howard (Raquel) of Sparta, sisters; Christine Howard (Dan Cobus) of Pewaukee and Sandra Wright (Mike) of Mondovi. Rick is also survived by his Aunts, and many Nieces and Nephews who loved their Uncle Ricco. Richard was preceded in death by his brother Michael "Mike" Howard.
A Celebration of Rick's life will be held on January 8, 2022 from 1:00pm until the start of services at 3:00 pm at River Glen Church, W229N1400 Westwood Drive, Waukesha WI 53186.In Lieu of Flowers, donations to The Food Pantry of Waukesha County are appreciated.
Rest in peace Rick, we love you
