Ben Howard was taken from us too soon on February 19, 2020. Ben was a gentle soul who loved life and all of its people. He was an accomplished, self-taught musician who loved playing the guitar with his friends and, as a true Dead Head, he worshipped and loved The Grateful Dead and their music.
Ben was also an avid sports fan and particularly those teams from his hometown- Boston. He could quote chapter and verse about any player, from any team, going back decades.
Ben also loved all things living with a particular fondness for dogs.
Ben's departure will leave a gaping hole in the hearts of all that knew him.
Ben is survived by his parents, Allan & Mary Howard of Port St Lucie; his sister Amy Schwartzkopf and her husband Brian along with two beautiful nieces Eva and Ainsley from Reading MA; in addition Uncle Craig Howard, Aunt Patty Markowitz from Orlando, and Aunt Gerry Connors, as well as other Uncles and Aunts, Tony & Shirley Cimorelli, John Silveria & Lorna; Elizabeth Bremmer, Billy and Paula Silveria, and many cousins from both Massachusetts and Florida.
Calling hours will be Monday, February 24 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm with a funeral service at 3:30 pm at Aycock at Tradition, 12571 Tradition Pkwy, Port St Lucie, FL 34987. (772) 618-2336
