February 9, 1971-November 8, 2026

Brent Alan Howard, 55, of League City, Texas, passed away peacefully at home after a courageous battle with cancer on November 8, 2026.

Brent was born in Lake Charles, Louisianato Carolyn and Robert Howard.  He graduated from LaGrange High School in 1989.  After graduation, he worked for CED in Lake Charles as a delivery driver and advanced to Purchasing for many years until he moved to the Houston area to work for Wholesale Electric Supply Company of Houston in 2002.  He was an exceptional sales person for many years until he became the Sales and Operations Manager for the Deer Park location in January 2017.

Brent was a devout member of Mary Queen Catholic Church in Friendswood and served as the Spiritual Companion for the ACTS Core for three years.  He loved smoking a brisket, date nights, great restaurants, traveling, hunting, fishing, baseball, golf and college football. The LSU Tigers was his favorite team until he married Sherry in April 2013, and he quickly developed a love for Texas A&M, too.

Brent was the kindest person, loved deeply, and he always recognized the good in others.  His ability to forgive was a gift, and he never held a grudge.  His devotion to Our Lord and his faith was palpable and unwavering, especially at the end of his days on this earth.  Brent was loved dearly by his family and friends, and he cherished those relationships very deeply.

He is survived by his wife of almost 14 years, Sherry Howard, and many loving family and friends. 

Brent was preceded in death by his mother, Carolyn Jo Howard and his father, Robert “Bobby” Howard, his grandparents, John “Pawpaw” Racca and Ruth “Mawmaw” Racca, and his Uncle Henry “Bo” Davis.

A Rosary will begin at 10:30 a.m. followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. at Mary Queen Catholic Church, 606 Cedarwood, Friendswood, Texas 77546, on Tuesday, November 17, 2026.  A private burial will follow at Guardian Angel Catholic Cemetery in Wallis, Texas.

A special thanks goes to his hospice and medical team, especially Dr. Gabriel Rodriquez, who became a wonderful friend and brother in Christ to Brent.  We are also full of gratitude for our community of friends and family who loved, supported and prayed for Brent during his illness.

Arrangements are entrusted to Jeter Memorial Funeral Home, Friendswood, Texas.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.  You have faith in God; have faith also in me.  In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.  If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.”  -John 14:1-3
