July 21, 2022. A fifth generation Tampanian, Ham attended Plant High School, Santa Fe College, and the University of South Florida. As a young man, Ham excelled at baseball and football. He loved fishing, hunting, and playing his guitar. Ham had a passion for music and compiled an extensive collection of vintage, live recordings of rock and jazz concerts, that he was always eager to share. A sweet and kind soul, he was a natural with children and animals. Ham loved spending time with his family and adored his nieces and nephews. He was devoted to his pets Fiona and Scout. Ham is survived by his parents, Hiram and Wynnette; brothers Howell (Jana) and Wade (Sasha); nephews Clewis, Bingham, and Whitaker; and nieces Emmerson and Amelia; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will be missed by all who loved him. A private memorial will be held at a later date.
