WESTFIELD – Brian Thomas Howard passed away on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 at the age of 63. He was born in Westfield, MA on June 6, 1959 to the late Thomas J. Howard Jr. and Maureen (O’Rourke) Howard. He was a 1977 graduate of St. Mary’s High School, and a 1989 graduate of Westfield State College.
To say that Brian was a hard worker would be an understatement. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family, and still made time to pass along his love of music to his children. Brian loved the outdoors, enjoyed working in the yard, and fixing things in and around the house. He had a dynamic sense of humor and loved to laugh and tell stories.
Brian leaves behind his three children, Ryan and fiancé Victoria, and their son Dylan, his daughter Kate and husband Adam Saltus and their 3 children, Charlotte, Olive, and Henry, his son Jon and wife Susie and their daughter Gigi. Brian also leaves behind his ex-wife and best friend of over 40 years Laurie LeBlanc Howard, along with his 3 siblings – his sister Kathy Lynch and husband Steve, his brother Tim Howard and wife Gloria, his brother Dan Howard and wife Liane, and many nieces and nephews.
Services will be private for the family. If you care to make a donation in Brian’s memory, please consider donating to Shriners Children’s Hospital New England, 516 Carew St. Springfield, MA 01104. www.firtionadams.com
