I truly am at a loss for words. My heart sunk when I discovered this sad news. It was just months ago I literally saw you at Half Note Lounge seemingly enjoying yourself. We didn't even speak to one another, but you stared and I am pretty sure it was you. Sorry we lost touch. Life circumstances led to a change in direction for both of us. I only wish for you eternal rest, peace, and happiness in God's Kingdom. Thank you for crossing my path and the years of friendship past. You are and surely will be missed

You are deeply missed. Sad day for me. Loss for words. ❤

You are missed deeply. This is a sad day for me. Loss for words.

I was looking for you on Facebook today and saw that your page said "REMEMBERING". My heart immediately sank and I began my search online for an answer and my worst fear was true. You have passed. I will miss you dearly Winston. We had a wonderful friendship and I regret not keeping in touch more often as you requested. We must not let life get in the way of people who are important to us. You do not know this but a particular conversation we had taught me to be vigilant in seeking out the things I want in life and you taught me how to "get things done". It took me years but when I finally did what you told me to do I remembered you and now I wanted to tell you thank you! I always thought you were being hard on me but you were just being straightforward. Thank you. I will miss you and I loved you dearly as a person. The world is a little sadder now that you are gone. I still can't believe I am just finding this out now. RIP my friend. You were a brilliant person

Winston shopped in my store, Beyond Comics, for years and I never saw him without a smile on his face. He was the kind of customer that made my job worth showing up for.

I served with Keith Howell , US Navy/ what a bright light and wonderful person in so many people's life.  I learned of his passing today after speaking with another Navy Buddy- he will be missed. LTJG Akeeka Davis, USN Nurse Corps

Peaceful journey Winston. We will continue to do good in the world on your behalf.

I miss you brother, not a day has passed since you left us to be with your father I have not thought about you. I truly miss us have conversation about life, family, and true brotherhood. I miss your brother.

I don't really have the words to explain how I'm feeling right now but I miss my brother very dearly I wish we could've stay as tight as we was in high school but as we get older and our lives change and go in different directions we sometimes lose touch with people. we are not promised tomorrow so we must live today as if it is our last miss you kason. my prayers go out to his family . Allah bless

My brother and dear friend what a whole in space, an empty void, a crutch to lean on and ear to listen. Thank you dude for all the great times and memorys we did it bigger, because that's   just how we are, truly untouchable. I know our God needs you to walk by his side he called you home and I understand. I will remember the good and bad which is made us bro's. Love you dude...RIP

I am still in shock to hear of Winston's passing. I worked with him for several years. He was always very positive about life and would often relay the same to me. May he Rest in Peace.

There can be no story about my life without your name appearing in multiple chapters. I still cannot believe that you are gone. They say that it is not your entry date or departure date that matters, but the dash in between. Your dash was amazing because you lived life to the fullest. Your heart was so big that we can't help but have a whole in ours due to your absence. I know if you were here you would tell me, like always, not to worry. Goodbyes are not forever, they simply mean that I'll miss you until we meet again.

The LIGHT of your smile, gifts, heart, sincerity and kindness will NEVER go out...

It remains ever bright and vibrant in all of our hearts...

Your family is in our hearts and prayers. May God strengthen and comfort you during this sad time.

A truly good man, Winston was my coworker for only 10 days.  He was really excited about his new job and I expected to work with him side by side for the next 30 years.   I took the pictures at his office, which could be his last before RIP.  My deepest condolences and sympathy for his family.

When I left da Jville, you wished me "fair winds and following seas" thank you my brother. Now I know you are on soft clouds in Angels wings. Forever in our hearts you are so close but so far away. Peace be with the family

Our deepest symhathy from our family to yours.
He will be missed.

Always a "good man".  My deepest condolences for his family and loved ones. May you rest peacefully and always be remembered with love.

My dear Brother, we shared so many good times at UHS and you will never be forgotten. Though we hadn't seen each other since we graduated, I'm grateful that we stayed in touch. It's hard to imagine you not being here physically, but all praises to the Creator that the last words we shared with each other last month were, "I love you Brother." Divine comfort is prayed for the family.

Heard of Winston's passing.  So sad for his family and friends as I've known them for 40 years!  And even though I've traveled the country and haven't seen him and his family, I never forgot how much we played and shared growing up with his family and mine.  Rest in peace forever my brother.

My heart goes out to the family. May you find strength and comfort in The Lord.  I am so glad I had the opportunity to know Winston. RIP my good brother. UHS class of 85

I am saddened to hear of your passing. You were a good man and I will always have fond memories of you during our University High School years and the way you made us laugh. Rest In Peace my friend.

To wake up this morning to learn of the transition of a precious classmate and brother of mine Winston Howell, is beyond shocking. That smile, I don't even have to close my eyes to see it. As time goes by, as life unfolds, as I learn and grow, I'm learning that God in His perfect wisdom, really does have the whole world in His hands. I'm learning that while we do feel loss, precious people like Winston are a treasure, greatly enriching our lives. I thank you for that Winston. I thank God for Winston, and for being able to share the time we did share. He was a tremendous gift to many especially those of us in the UHS family. Sincerest condolences to the Howell Family. Rest well Winston.

I was literally caught off guard when someone said to me, "hey, Winston was your Supervisor right, did you hear about him?"  And I thought that they were going to tell me that they saw you and that they had a funny story to tell or that you were doing something and such and such...  I couldn't believe what they told me next, that you had passed away.  Time sometimes has a way of slipping away but I will always remember you my friend.  You gave me an opportunity to come and work for you and with this company and I am forever in your debt.  Thank you for being who you were.

Sir Winston Howell?, I started calling you that when you first told me your name.  I told you that your name was way too formal for me just to call you Winston and you laughed and then you smiled...it was then that we became friends.  I have only great memories...happy memories of you.  Always kind - always fun to be around.  Our class was, is and will always be family...close family.  My sincere prayers and deepest sympathies are with your beautiful family...and with your family of friends who will all miss you more than we could ever say.  R.I.P. my brother.  #UHS_Class_of_1984 #The_Class_With_Class  (Crying but treasuring memories.)

Fly away dear friend, Spread your wings and fly; Take the beauty of your soul, far beyond the sky

Family I am wishing you all strength and encouragement. I have nothing but fond memories of my brother. We were all apart of a band of brothers at UHS. We all grew together. Gone too soon but may you continue to rest peacefully! Rise Phoenix!

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family of our beloved Winston. What a sweet, wonderful soul. Rest peacefully my friend.

With tear filled eyes and a laugh in my heart I remember my friend. Gone too soon, but never will I forget your great counsel when I needed you.
Rest in peace.

To the family and loved ones of Winston,  you have my sincere and deep condolences.   The news of his passing literally took my breath away...To my old friend who has left us too soon; thank you for all the laughs and memories. I appreciate the kindness you always showed and the fun times. Rest in Peace My Friend. May God Bless your soul.

It is with heavy heart I wish to offer the family my sincerest sympathy.  I worked with Winston for many years.  Winston was a valued colleague and a great friend. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family.

Another Phoenix has RISEN! You will NEVER be forgotten! My prayers are with your family and many friends.

Dad,

Some of the happiest moments in my life were times we shared together. Through our ups and downs, I loved you always. I am thankful and proud to have a dad, that was so strong, that was a fighter, and that touched so many others lives with his joy and his presence. I cry because I thought we would have more time. But, I also cry because I am blessed to have called you my dad, and to know that you are in a better place, watching over us. I love you, and your memory will forever be with me, in my heart. 

-Rest in Peace, Dad

It was my pleasure to know you. We had lots of fun and laughs "back in the day". Rest easy my friend. My sincerest prayers and condolences go out to your family, friends and loved ones.

Prayers for the family...... He was always a lively person in high school.... Class of 1986 - University High School..... the Mighty Phoenix.... soars you on!

I've lost my lil brother. Too soon. Going to miss you Keith. Our thoughts and prayers going out for the family.

My heart is so heavy.  Winston was very dear to me and I send my condolences and love to his family.  R.I.P.

My deepest condolences go out to Winston's family and friends.  I am deeply saddened to hear about his passing.  I will always cherish the wonderful memories we had from high school and even years later when he moved to Florida.  You were always a good person with a beautiful heart and soul.  Rest in Perfect Peace, my dear Winston.  You will be missed.

Wow...I'm really sad to hear of your passing. My grade school friend Lincoln Elementary & University High School in Newark, NJ. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of your loved ones. Rest in paradise my old friend!

My head is still swimming after hearing of your passing. You are my brother from another. We had so many good times together starting way back in high school, hanging at your house on the weekends. (I still remember your Chevy Monza going to Alex Ing LOL!!) I followed you into the Navy and the fun continued in VA til well after we both got out.  Rest in peace "Kaison" You will be missed.

Words really can not express the way I feel about the news of Winston's passing but I will reminisce on all the great times Sam and myself had with him and his entire family over the many years Winston was a character and one of a kind he touched so many peoples lives and he will forever be etched in my heart.
God Bless.
The Cooper Family.

My Knight In Shining Armour. I miss you soooooo much. I can not express the sorrow and sadness that I feel without you. You were wonderful to me and my little girls. You will forever be missed and a very tough act to follow. I love you my dear friend, companion, partner, and confidant.

My scattered thoughts are a struggle. What holds me together, is the friendship we shared. I will cherish our last conversations. You were the best friend I could've ever been blessed with Love & Miss you greatly!

I am so sorry to hear of winston passing I worked with him at GSK and we kept in touch by facebook he was a good man and a good friend this touches my heart deeply to know he is gone but to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. I pray for his family in this time and know my prayers are with them.

We will miss the light you brought us when you came home. You are my baby brother and I will never forget the joy you give us but I know that we will see each other again and this time I will bring the goose.  Love u 4 - ever xxoo
