Harvey H Howell Jr.

April 29th 1957 – August 10th 2020

Harvey was born in Staten Island, NY, enjoyed growing up in east Tennessee, and as of 1976 resided in Bradenton for the remainder of his life. He spent his younger years attending Manatee Association for Retarded Citizens “MARC”, participating in the Bradenton Kiwanis Action Club, and the Special Olympics Bowling League. Harvey passed away peacefully at his home the morning of August 10th in the loving care of his devoted mother. He was an avid lover of the Stars and Stripes, a huge patriot of America, and adored the Ray’s Baseball team. There was not a single person alive that met Harvey who was not instantly a life-long friend after one of his warm hugs and hearty handshakes. He was a loving caring friendly person and his light will shine forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. His family is comforted knowing that he is now an angel manning the lighthouse in heaven with his sister, Doris (Dee) Howell. Harvey is survived by his mother, Sue Howell, his sisters and brothers-in-law, Janice and Doug Haas, Sharon and Jimbo McClellan, nieces Jessica Haas and Danielle Roman (John Probus), nephews Tony McClellan, Paul Haas, John Campbell Roman, D.J. McClellan, Donnie McClellan, family friend Samantha Kennedy, and several cousins.
