He is survived by his beloved wife of six years, Tisha Jones, and their wonderful blended family, including his son Howard Jones Jr. and stepson Aaron White.

Their life together was marked by laughter, genuine love, and a shared commitment to building a future filled with warmth and togetherness. A certified HVAC technician, Howard devoted himself to his career with passion and dedication. After completing two years of trade school and apprenticeship, he quickly advanced to a Journeyman role, excelling in handling service calls and installations. His work ethic and determination allowed him to climb the ranks in the HVAC industry, earning the respect and admiration of his colleagues and clients alike. Outside of his professional life, Howard was a sports enthusiast who found joy in watching games and cheering for his favorite teams. However, his greatest passion was giving back to his community. Howard was known for his infectious smile that could light up any room and his unwavering commitment to uplifting those around him. Whether mentoring the next generation or offering a helping hand to someone in need, Howard was a beacon of hope and a role model to many.
