Andrew “Andy” Eubanks Howard passed away from his earthly home on March 7, 2021 due to complications of Parkinson’s Disease.
Andrew was predeceased by his parents, Walter Samuel and Ruby Beatrice Howard; his brother, Walter Samuel Howard, Jr; and his son, Andrew Eubanks Howard, Jr.
He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Sarah “Sally” E. Howard; and his children, Travis Andrew Howard and his wife, Leisa, Luci Belinda Krueger all of Augusta, GA, and John C. Ake and his wife, Cheryl of Carrollton. Also surviving is one grandson, Travis Alexander “Alex” Howard of Augusta.
Andrew was a member of Midway Church in Villa Rica and cherished participating with the men’s Brotherhood, teaching Sunday School, cooking meals on Wednesday nights and working on the Finance Committee and Board of Trustees. If you knew Andy, you knew of his love of amateur radio. Although he had many hobbies to include woodworking and his electric trains, amateur radio was his first love. He along with several others, founded the Southeastern AM Radio Club where he served as President until his death. He loved helping or advising anyone with questions regarding building or maintaining equipment. He loved his fellow members as brothers and especially his Christmas get togethers at his home each year.
Andy was a perfectionist in all he did never tiring of seeking knowledge. He was a certified scuba diver, enjoyed martial arts, worshipful master of several Masonic Lodges but most of all his love of Christ took precedence.
