Howard Jr. Patterson Memorial Funds

Family and friends, it is with heavy hearts we share our brother Howard Ciscero Patterson Jr., has been called home to be with the Lord.|
Howard Ciscero Patterson, Jr. died unexpectedly at home on Wednesday,February 7, 2018 in Bronx, NY at the age of 41.  Howard was born on January 21, 1977 in Bronx, NY to Shirley F. Henry and the late Howard Ciscero Patterson, Sr. He graduated from New York City Public Schools where he discovered his passion for photography and music.
For us, Howard’s departure is truly heartbreaking and we are still coming to terms with the news. We ask you join us in remembering him with love and support.
Whether you called him Howard, Duck,(from the movie Howard the Duck), Dae, HPatt, Howie, or his father's name for him Tojo,you knew he was a laidback, kind, and real creative kind of man. He may not have been the first one to start a conversation, but his quietness and eye for the “small things” is what made him into the great wedding and portrait photographer he was.

Howard and His Family|

Howard is survived by his mother, Shirley F. Henry, of Bronx, NY; his brothers, Darryl Holifield and Dwayne Henry, of Bronx, NY; and his sister, Patricia Patterson of Salisbury, NC. To cherish his memory, he also leaves aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and a host of loved ones. He is preceded in death by his father, Howard Ciscero Patterson, Sr, of Cleveland, NC; and one sister, CarlaPatterson of Concord, NC. 
Unfortunately Howard Jr. is the first grandchild of Geter and Gladys Henry to pass on. The present generation of Henrys and family from all sides thus, are coming together as one to help ease the sudden financial burden on his immediate family. A burden does not have to be heavy if the load is carried by us all.  

How You Can Help|
In the upcoming weeks, we are kindly asking family, friends, and any compassionate heart to please give a love offering of whatever you are able to his mother and brothers.  We know it can be much to ask but, due to the unexpected nature of Howard's passing,  please if you can, give as soon as you are able. The ____ estimation is to cover the financial funeral arrangements. Included is the cost of transporting Howard’s body to NC from NY, as per his mother’s wishes for her youngest son to reside at home on the family’s North Carolina’s plot.
