Michael Alan Howard

Mike was born on April 25th, 1972, to Paul and Merry in Riverside, California. He was raised in Galena, Missouri by Paul and Nellie Howard along with his siblings, Stephanie Gillette (Trent), John Taylor (Mellissa), Julie Lee (Kieth), Amy Jo Higgins (Sean), Paul Howard Jr, and Thomas Howard. Mike was full of life and laughter, always willing to help a friend or neighbor, helping Granny (Anna Brooks), telling a good joke, harassing his kids Daniel and Dixie, nieces, and nephews (which he done on a daily basis) or just being there for you. He was always working on a vehicle, hauling junk, or had some sort of project going.  Michael was always on the go, even after surgery he was up pulling a car off a trailer. Mike left his earthly dwelling to take his place in his heavenly home on December 31, 2024. He will forever be loved and missed. Micheal is preceded in death by his son Nathiel, and Mom Nellie Howard.

Services for Michael will be held at Galena Community Church on Friday, January 17, 2025 at 4pm. Cremation was under the direction of Stumpff Funeral Home, Crane, MO.
