The 27-year-old deputy was killed Wednesday when his patrol vehicle clipped the back of an 18-wheeler on SH-249 northbound in the Spring/Cypress area.

Howard came to the sheriff’s office in 2019 from the Harris County Pct. 5 Constables Office. He was assigned to patrol until he was moved to the Violent Gang Suppression Unit three months ago.

Howard was a father of his 2-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son, husband to his beloved wife, a dear friend, and a hero.

His loved ones said his care and service touched so many hearts.
