Jimmie Frank Howard's Obituary
“Grief is love with no place to go”-Jamie Anderson
Jimmie “Frank” Howard’s love of life didn’t come to an end with his death on 12/25/2021. He passed this along to his loved ones who will honor him by living life to the fullest, just as he did.
Frank Howard was born January 23rd, 1946 in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Frank. Good food, good music, and a fire in the backyard with friends and family were his favorite things. He was a proud veteran and the best dad and grandfather anyone could ask for. His infectious spirit drew you in and he was always making everyone smile with his dancing and of course his stories. He was a great story teller and his sage advice, especially when it came to cooking, was coveted. He will be missed tremendously.
Frank was preceded in death by his father, John; mother, Uni Belle; brothers, TJ and Bobby; sisters, Mavis and Marie; and son, Eric. Mr. Frank is survived by his partner Cherry Lewis; brother, Robert; sister, Merle; daughter, Lesa; sons, Jimmy, Jonathan, and Doug; 9 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held on December 30th, 2021 at 1:00 with visitation between 11:00AM-1:00PM
