Howard was the beloved husband of Nicole Irwin (née Cazes) for 42 wonderful years. He was a devoted and loving father to Maryann Neves, Madeline Thombs, and Joann Irwin, and a cherished Papa to Justin, Brittany, Jenieca, Tyana, Anthony, Taryn, Malachi, Beloved, and Madison. He will also be fondly remembered by his great-grandchildren Paris, Grayson, Aaliyah, and Keniyah. He leaves behind his brother Rick, and a lifetime of memories shared with family and friends.
Howard will be remembered for his sharp wit, sense of humour, and the countless unforgettable (and often tipsy) moments spent enjoying life with those he loved. In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, October 5, 2025 from 2-5pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 58, 1180 Barton St E, Hamilton, ON L8H 2V7.
