At the time of his passing, Bob Howard was 81 years old. He died away in a calm and serene manner at his home in Yukon on the first Thursday of February in the year 2024. His passing occurred in a situation that was quiet and tranquil. Bob Howard was born on August 28th, 1942 in the city of Lawton, Oklahoma, in the United States of America.
He was the subject of a great deal of pride for his parents, Don and Dorothy Howard. The farm that his family owned and maintained was the place where all six of his siblings were brought up, and he was the youngest of the eight children and the youngest of the family’s offspring.
A Lifetime of Love and Companionship:
A diploma was awarded to Bob when he completed his high school education at Lawton High School in the year 1960. He was lauded for having the most outstanding manner and excelling in athletics when he was there, and he received recognition for both of these qualities. Another round of honors followed. In 1960, he had already been picked as an All-State football player and had already participated in the Oil Bowl. He had also been selected for the All-State team. Following that, he continued his schooling at Oklahoma State University, where he began his football career as a two-year starter for the Cowboys football team and earned three letters during his time there.
Early Life and Education:
He also began his career as a quarterback for the National Football League. A number of honors and awards were bestowed upon him upon his graduation. The year 1963 was the year when he was awarded the title of Most Valuable Player during his career.
Bob started his professional path in the oil industry, where he worked in sales and management, before moving on to the freight industry. He then transitioned into the freight industry. After some time, he settled into a career in the transportation sector. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, playing a lot of golf and bowling, and helping his friends with their farms and gardens.
Survived by Beloved Relatives:
These were some of his favorite pastimes. Spending time with his mom and siblings was another thing that he enjoyed doing. More than forty-five years have passed since Bob first settled in Yukon as a permanent resident. Among those who are left behind are his four children, Robert (and his wife Vanessa), Lisa (and her husband David), Kyle (and his wife Amanda), and Matt (and his wife Shelby); his significant other for many years, Lloydene (LD) Linton, who took such good care of him; his sister Christine Chadwick; and his brother James Howard. All of these individuals are left behind. Each and every one of these people has been abandoned.
Conclusion:
Bob’s six grandchildren, Sutton, Sloan, Cooper, Brooks, Aubrey, and Landon, as well as his two bonus grandchildren, Lucy and Hays, referred to him as “Poppie.” This made Bob extremely happy. He was also pleased by the fact that his grandchildren said this about him.
One of the things that brought him the most happiness was this particular thing. Before he passed away, a number of people, including his parents, Don and Dorothy Howard, as well as his siblings, Wendelyn Garton and Jeanette Ketchum, had already passed away. His brother Loewen Howard, who also passed away, came before him in death. He was the last of his species.
