Jeffrey Howell Obituary
Jeff passed away unexpectedly at home. He was a third generation San Franciscan who attended Saint John's Grammar School and Sterne High School, in S.F. He earned ASE Master Mechanic Certification from Skyline College, and was a longtime member of Stationary Engineers Local 39. Jeff will be remembered as an avid sportsman, a loyal friend, a wealth of information, being "Mr. Fix-it", and for making us laugh. He was thrilled to have seen the Giants win 2 World Series titles in his lifetime. Jeff was the loving husband of his wife Dana and proud father of his son Cody. Beloved son of Columbus and Roberta Howell and brother of Eugene.
A Memorial Mass will be held Saturday, January 5th, 2013 at 11:00am at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 100 Diamond Street, SF. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to

I am in complete shock at this terrible news...I knew Jeff during our time at Skyline, and hanging out fixing cars with all the boys. It was Jeff who taught me to how to remove a crank shaft from a truck! My deepest condolences to his family, my prayers are with you all.
