Chad Howell, beloved husband, father, friend, and pastor, was taken from earthly trials to the loving arms of Jesus, Sunday, February 1, 2009. He was 32.
Chad was the pastor of Bread of Life Family Worship for 5 years. Many lives have changed thru his willingness to help the hurting and hopeless. His smile and joy will always be remembered and the love he had for people will live on. There was only one Chad, who preached most every Sunday in Hawaii shirts and toe sandals. He was a friend to everyone and there will be an empty space in the hearts of those who knew him.
He loved playing golf, and spending time with his family and just being around people.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Voidean Howell. Survivors include his wife, Rhonda Estes Howell; his children, Caden, Braxton, Dean, and Elijah; his mother and father-in-law, Linda and Ron Estes; his brother and sister-in-law, Ken and Grace Estes; his niece, Rita Estes; and his nephew, Ronnie Estes. He is also survived by his loving church family at Bread of Life Family Worship Center, and many other family and friends.
Funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 5, 2009, at Faith Assembly Church of God, at 7:00 PM. Visitation will be held two hours prior to service. A private burial will be held at a later date.
The RIEMANN FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, in Pass Christian, is in charge of arrangements.
