JC Howard of La Marque, TX passed away on Sunday August 9, 2020 in his sleep after 82 years of life. He was a career Marine retired after 27 years, a retired TXDOT safety engineer of 16 years, and an over the road trucker until he was ready to play. He then enjoyed his slot machines and the trips he took to play them!
He is survived by his first wife Jackland Rose, 4 children Randy (Renee) Howard, Tim (Barbara) Howard, Robin (Leon) Filidei, Jamie (Tim) Boeder, 13 grandchildren and 7 great-grand kids and so many other family who will miss him dearly. His second wife (Patricia) passed away 5 years ago.
Visitation will be on Saturday August 15, 2020 at the James Crowder Funeral Home in La Marque (401 Texas Ave). Family will be present from 4-8. Gravesite service with military honors and internment will be in the Houston National Veterans cemetery at a later date.
That is my grandfather, grandpa to my brother Dustin Hughes & my self Candice Ennis! We both followed my grandpa advice living a military life, but because of covid we are not allowed to attend for I’m in Hawaii in quarantine. We want and tried to figure away to come but is not possible which is devastating. I loved my grandfather & very proud of him. If I can somehow send flowers atleast I would love too, but because of restrictions im not sure what is being allowed.
Randy, Tim, Robin, and Jamie-
There are just NOT enough words I could say to each of you about the loss of your Dad. Darrell and I continue to hold space for comfort, strength, and healing during this difficult transition period. May your grief expose the countless and wondrous memories of your Dad with joy and peace. I know this to be true because of our own recent passing of our Dad in June. I always saw, each of our Dad’s as incredible pillars of strength and steadfastness. My memories of Uncle Jimmy linger towards righteous FUN! Laughter at his obnoxious tunes that emanated from the horn on his big ole van! Watching every older boy cousin, “think” they could take Uncle Jimmy in a wrestling match…NOT. He was a Marine! Too numerous are the memories to go on for they are seeping in most sentimentally now. We love you. Carleta and Darrell
