November 30, 1968 — October 22, 2024

Cleveland, Ohio

Thomas Matthew Howard, Sr., lovingly known as Tom, was born on November 30, 1968, to Cornelius and Dorothy Howard in Cleveland, Ohio. The youngest of 19 children, Tom held a special place in the hearts of his large and loving family. 

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Cornelius and Dorothy; his brothers, Connie, Christopher, Ricardo, Sandy, and Cornelius Jr.; and his sisters, Cornelia, Brenda, Joyce, and Johnny Mae. 

He leaves behind his children, daughters Cierra Howard, Brena Howard, and Thomacina; sons Thomas Howard Jr., Terrell Howard, and Matthew; granddaughters Kennedy Howard and Lavender Thomas; brothers Mike, Gregg, Mark, Tim, and Steve; and sisters LaRuth, Mable, Dorothy, Renee, and Delores.
