In Loving Memory of Theodore R. Howard Sr.

Theodore R. Howard Sr.

December 6, 1940-May 25, 2025

Theodore R. Howard was a beloved father, grandfather, educator, and man of unwavering faith, who departed this life at the age of 84. Ted was determined, brave, funny and was a blessing to his family. Ted was the Patriarch of the Howard family and was a devoted husband and dedicated father. He went on to serve in education for 32 years as a teacher and principal, retiring in July 2000. In his retirement years, he enjoyed singing in the choir and serving as a church board member. He remained active in the community and faithful to service throughout his life.

Ted’s legacy as an educator is matched only by his steadfast faith in God. A devout believer who loved the Lord with all his heart, he lived his life as a testament to grace, wisdom, and integrity. Ted leaves behind a legacy that will live on through the many lives he touched, the lessons he taught, and the love he shared.

Despite all of his accomplishments in life and there are many, Ted was the proudest of the fact that his family members, young and old have embraced the same basic principles of education and creating better opportunities for themselves and their families that were passed along to him.

His voice carried both authority and kindness, and his presence was a steady anchor for his family, students, and community. Ted leaves behind a legacy that will live on through the many lives he touched, the lessons he taught, and the love he shared.
