William (Will) John Howard

In Loving Memory of William (Will) John Howard

July 13, 1985–November 14, 2023

Will was a beloved father, son, brother, and uncle. He passed away in his home on November 14th, 2024, at the age of 38.

Will was born on July 13th, 1985, in Palmer, Alaska, to Robin and Pam Howard. He lived a life filled with love, support, and in the service of others.

He was adventurous. From the time he could walk, he was always testing the limits. He would climb trees till he came tumbling down with the top from climbing too high. He loved racing bikes and wheelers and anything that had a motor (or not). He loved bringing people gifts from the outdoors, like rocks, raspberry starts, baby pine trees, or firewood. The highlight of his life was becoming a father. He couldn't have been more proud of his son.

He will undoubtedly be remembered for his brilliant wit, incredible sense of humor, and deep love of the outdoors. He touched the lives of many with his kindness, generosity, and eagerness to help anyone who needed it.

Will is survived by his mother, Pam; his son, Ryder; his sisters, Crystal, Amber, and Tiffany; and many nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory forever.

A celebration of life will be held this summer. In lieu of flowers, please reach out to someone in need. Thank you.
