Mark W. Howell, a fun-loving, family-oriented husband, father, brother, and papaw, passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by loved ones, on June 26, 2025 after a battle with Esophageal cancer. Through out his life, Mark never met a stranger. Everyone that he met was a friend.
Mark will be remembered most for the way he cherished spending time with his family and friends. He had a deep love for cooking, a comedic sense of humor and signature ‘Mark-isms’ that brought joy to everyone around him. He also had a lifelong passion for car racing and betting on horses. More than anything he will be remembered for the way he made people feel; loved, seen, and always entertained.
Mark was the foundation of strength and guidance for his family. He will be remembered by his wife of 27 years, Susan M. Howell; children Lindsay (Kyle) and Ross (Merina); sisters Gay (late husband, Charlie) and Patty (Scotty); grandchildren Malia (Trae), Connor, Ivy, and Sage, and great grandson, Brooks. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Evelyn.
