UPDATE: We are completely blessed by the outpouring of love and support over the past couple of days - we are incredibly thankful for all of you. We are amazed by the amount of people who have reached out and would like to come. After the cost of the funeral, we'd like to put everything toward the memorial of Coach Howard. Do it better than it's ever been done before.

Friends and Family,

On Friday we unexpectedly lost our Dad, our Coach and our Hero. He was our lighthouse in a stormy sea. A man we followed  from one side of the country to the other and back again, never knowing where God would take us. But it was always an adventure and always full of love. One grandchild after another, the Howard team grew in each community we had the honor to be apart of. We are setting this up so we can send Coach Howard off the way he deserves, to honor and celebrate his life.

We'd also like to help our Mom while she works through this time. Behind the greatest man I've known, is the most supportive, loving, and hard working woman and she needs our help now more than ever. She has been "Team Mom" for every program he's been a part of, kept him going and was there after every win and loss.

This is the toughest loss we have ever faced. We have been touched by the outpouring of love we have already seen for our dearly departed coach and father and grandfather. We are incredibly thankful for anything, even sharing or passing this on is a huge help. 

We are still cementing the details of the memorial and the date will be announced in the next couple days.
