David John Howell, a cherished husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter. Born in 1954, he graduated in 1972 from Greensville, South Carolina, before returning to the Dallas-Fort Worth area later that same year.

David dedicated 44 years of his career to Lockheed Martin, where he was renowned for his strong work ethic and commitment. An avid fisherman and passionate photographer, he found immense joy in nature and capturing the beauty of life through his lens.

A devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Mavericks, he also loved live music, art, and wine festivals. David will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
