Alan Howard – It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I share the news of my father’s passing. Alan Howard, a man of great warmth, wisdom, and kindness, bid farewell to this world on Friday, March 15th, 2024, at 8 pm, after a valiant battle with Alzheimer’s disease. His departure leaves a void that can never be filled, but his legacy of love and laughter will forever echo in our hearts.
Alan Howard lived a life defined by compassion and integrity. He approached every challenge with grace and resilience, touching the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. As a devoted husband, father, and friend, he embodied the virtues of loyalty, empathy, and selflessness. His unwavering support and unconditional love served as a guiding light for his family, inspiring us to navigate life’s complexities with courage and determination.
For Alan, the journey was not without its trials. In his later years, he faced the relentless progression of Alzheimer’s disease with remarkable courage and resilience. Despite the gradual loss of memory and cognition, his spirit remained unbroken, and his gentle nature continued to shine through. Though the disease may have dimmed the clarity of his mind, it could never diminish the depth of his love or the strength of his character.
As we come together to bid farewell to Alan, we take solace in the knowledge that he has found peace after his long and arduous journey.

Though Alan may no longer walk beside us, his spirit remains ever-present in the memories we cherish and the values he instilled within us. His legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering compassion will continue to inspire us as we navigate the journey of life without him. In the tapestry of our lives, he will forever hold a cherished place, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkest of days.
As we bid farewell to Alan, we do so with hearts heavy with grief yet filled with gratitude for the profound privilege of having known and loved him. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit lives on in the lives he touched and the memories he created. May we find comfort in the knowledge that he now rests in eternal peace, his legacy enduring through the ages as a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.
