Edward H. Howard, 75, passed away October 29, 2020 in Mesa, Arizona. He was born on March 31, 1945 to Harvey and June Howard in Los Angeles, CA. He grew up in LA and moved to Arizona in the late seventies but always considered California his home, and shared stories of his life there with anyone who would lend him their ear. He loved people, and was always there to extend a helping hand or to share a memory. But most of all he loved his family. Through all the joy and even the heart break and loss, he held them close to his heart.
