Howard R. Sears Sr., 75, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, August 12, 2023. He passed away peacefully in his home with his loving fiancée by his side.

Born on July 18, 1948, to Anna Magliochetti and William Sears in Bridgeport, CT, Howard grew up and worked in Newtown, CT. before relocating to Guyton, GA. with his father and fiancée, Michelle.

He retired from the United Rentals Equipment Co. as a heavy equipment operator and aerial lift mechanic after 30 years of service and dedication to the company.

Howard found pleasures in the simple things in life and enjoyed working in his barn with his father, his tractors, and riding his motorcycle with his fiancée.

He will be very missed by his fiancée, Michelle; his children, Terri, Howard Jr., and Jessica; his family, friends, and all those who knew and cherished him. His memory will live on, and he will be remembered as the soft-spoken, giant, gentle spirit that he was.

Howard will be forever loved, forever missed, and forever in our hearts.

A private service will be held by his family.
