Randal Scott Howard

Randal was born to Ivan and Patricia (Sandusky) Howard and grew up in the Lansing area. Randal went to Grand Ledge High School, Class of 1976. From high school, Randal got a job at General Motors without having a diploma or GED and worked there for 30 years until his retirement at the age of 48.

Within those years he met the love of his life, Sandra (Cochran) and had three children. The two were married March 20, 1985 until Randal's passing.

The things Randal loved the most was spending time with his family, traveling, listening to music, anything to do with cars or motorcycles, football...especially the Michigan State Spartans and Detroit Lions, watching boxing and MMA, movies, good food, and just having a good time.

Randal is preceded in death by his brother, Ronald Howard; his parents, Ivan Howard and Patricia Rinck (Sandusky); and his sister, Cheryl (Howard) Bolt.

He is survived by his wife, Sandra (Cochran) Howard; his three children, Michael (Saundra) Howard, Randal Howard Jr., and Jeri Howard; his grandchildren, Hanna and Hailey Howard. And his sister Kathy (Todd) Verhage, his brother Reginald Howard (Linea) along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The family would like to give a special thanks to everyone who has supported him during his battle with cancer. It meant the world to him and his family.
