James Howard

Jimmy Howard, 25, of Hartford, passed away, Wednesday, December 22, 2021. He was born June 5, 1996 in Hartford, KY to Rob Howard and Jennifer (Dowell) Kirk. Jimmy was a bright star that burned out too quickly; he touched everyone's life that he came in contact with. Jimmy was a very spiritual individual, and he was strong within his beliefs. He was a soldier, very patriotic, whose interest varied from riding his Harley, hunting, and fishing. A man with knowledge far greater than his trades, including expert of firearms, and woodworking. Through Jimmy's connections with online gaming, it was no secret or surprise that he was so loved by all that he encountered all over the world. He was preceded in the death by his maternal grandfather, James Dowell. Survivors include his father, Rob Howard of Hartford, mother, Jennifer (Jay) Kirk of Owensboro; siblings, Kadence (Ryan) Ash of Owensboro, Clinton Joseph Thomas Howard of Owensboro, Gabriella Renee Howard of Hartford, Marcello Nobrega of Wesley Chapel, FL., and Genevieve A. Dowell of Owensboro; Paternal grandparents, William Robert & Dinah Rhea Howard of Hartford, and maternal grandmother, Bonnie (Jack) Casey of Rockport, KY.
