Karl Howard's Obituary
Life Reflections Karl Howard was born July 29, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois to Ernestine Robinson and Luther Howard, who both preceded him in death. He was the eldest of four sons. Karl attended Crispus Attucks Elementary School and Bowen High School both in Chicago, Illinois and ITT Tech for Electronic Engineering in St Louis, Missouri. Karl accepted Christ as his personal Savior at an early age and was baptized at the age of 17. He was anointed to play the organ and keyboard by ear and never had a music lesson. He knew his gift came from God and used it for God’s glory by playing at several churches throughout his life. Karl was a faithful member of Harvest of Blessings Reconciliation Church, where his church family became his second family. Karl moved to St Louis, Missouri in 1985 where he met and married Angela Johnson. To this union four children were born. Later in life he married Loretta Jean Howard. Karl loved helping others which led him to have a career in the Healthcare Industry. He was employed with Provision Healthcare Associates as a Certified Nursing Assistant. As Karl’s health began to deteriorate, his spirit and faith in God did not. His incredible faith is what comforted his loved ones during his time of illness. His loving spirit will never be forgotten. Karl departed this earth to meet his Savior on Wednesday, April 13, 2016. He leaves to cherish his memories: his five children ~ Karl Jr., Shonda, Aaron, Terrell and Kayla; one granddaughter ~ Summer Faith; three brothers ~ Joseph (Wendy), Malachi and Earl (Novella); his best friend and caregiver ~ Burdena Sanders; and a host of family and friends.
