Mr. Robert Wayne Howard passed away Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at his home surrounded by family and friends.  Robert was always there for anyone in need and would give the shirt off his back to help another person.  Since he was 18 years old, he was a painter.  He loved hot rod cars and was an antique car collector.

Robert is survived by his daughter, Tracy Howard and sons, Nicholas, Chad and Darian Howard and wife Kimberly; sister, Joyce Ennis and brother Calvin Summers and wife Tammy.   He is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  He leaves behind his beloved dog, Lily.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Margie Lee Tart and James Thomas Howard; special friend, Montez Tyndall and Uncle Clyde Howard.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a church very close to Robert's heart.
