Chris was known for his passion for cooking and his love of gathering with family and friends for cookouts. He found joy in the simple things- grilling a good meal, telling stories, and sharing laughter around the table. He also had a love for traveling, with Myrtle Beach holding a special place in his heart and Rock Island to go see his mama.

Those left to cherish his memory are his children, Jameka Howard, Joseph Bembury, and Jessica (Kyle) Axley. He also leaves behind his beloved mother, Wilma Howard. He left his sisters, Lisa (Micheal) Wright-Gordon, Robin (Tony) Kraus, Kimberly Wright, and Jamie Nayou. His brothers, Takkieas (Keshia) Howard and Quantaz Fender are also left to cherish his memories. Christopher leaves behind his aunts, Cecelia "Nita" Golden, Barbra "Jean" Sangster, Mary Ann Wright, Kate Wright and an uncle Johnny (Marilyn) Wright.

He was preceded in death by his father Leon Howard, a sister Sarah Sangster, his grandparents, Thomas and Lille Wright, and Ollie Brown. He's also preceded in death by hosts of uncles, aunts, and cousins.

Chris will be remembered for his warm spirits, generous heart, and the joy he brought to those lucky enough to know him. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him.
