Brian and I were classmates at De La Salle. We were Sophomores together. We shared many laughs and would leave school and travel to King High School to watch their basketball games! I moved out of Chicago and lost contact with my brother. He was a beautiful man, a genuine soul and a dedicated friend. May his wonderful spirit live on forever through his children and those closes to him. I'm not sure what happened but this is sad nonetheless!!

B was a very sweet, kind, and sensitive man. I will forever remember his laugh and the nonjudgemental attitude he possessed. My heart and my prayers go out to the entire Howard family, and especially to Carla, my locker partner in highschool. He will be missed.
