Charles Leroy Howard

On the night of Monday, September 20, 2021, Charles L. Howard, Sr. passed away at his residence with his loving family by his side. He was born in Lancaster, South Carolina on March 23, 1946 to the late Carl and Hallie Isaacs Howard.

Charles loved the Lord, his family, his friends, and his church family and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a proud United States Army veteran, loved bass fishing and was always proud to call North Cove home. He enjoyed watching basketball, and was a diehard NC State Wolfpack fan. He also had a great dislike for UNC.

Left to cherish his memories are his wife of twenty years, Theresa L. Conner-Howard; three children, Charles L. Howard Jr., Steven W. Howard (Jessica) and Joshua R. Howard (Katie); seven grandchildren, Carl Howard, Whitney Howard, Gabriel Howard, Grace Bailey, Charlotte Howard, Scarlet Howard and one granddaughter on the way.
