Personal History
John Robert Howell, 70, passed away peacefully at his home on the bright and beautiful afternoon of Sunday, August 9, 2020 surrounded by family and friends.
John lived his entire life on his parents’ farm, located near Montmorenci, IN.
John spent his entire twelve pre-college years at Montmorenci High-School, known as the old Benton Central H.S. in the final two years. He was a superb student, graduating as salutatorian. John went on to attend Purdue University for six straight years, graduating with academic honors and earning a master’s degree in electrical engineering. He worked as an engineer for over four decades at Duncan Electric/Landis+Gyr.
John is survived by his wife, Kimberly; five children; one brother; two nephews; stepchildren; 12 grandchildren; and many cousins and friends. Through the love and support of John, there was no doubt that his stepchildren were “his kids”. His grandchildren knew him as Papa John and will always cherish their time helping him on the farm.
John was active with many organizations and events, willing to help anyone needing assistance.
