Wayne Edward Howell, 71, was called home to his heavenly savior on January 28, 2020. He had a devout love for Jesus Christ and for his family. Wayne never let an opportunity to share the good news of his Lord and Savior slip regardless if he knew you or not. He wanted everyone to experience the same relationship with Christ that he had for so many years. But his next love was baseball; more specifically the Houston Astros. He was an Astros fan through thick or thin and shared his love for the game with others as often as possible.
Wayne passed at his residence in Clute, TX but home for him was always Mansfield where he was a long time resident. Many folks knew him by his CB radio name; the Cowman. And Wayne never missed an opportunity to attend fellowship with his fellow members of Antioch Baptist Church where he was a long time member.
Wayne is survived by his brother-in-law, Donald Toutcheque Sr.; 4 nephews, Donald Toutcheque Jr. and wife Tracy; Jeffrey Toutcheque and wife Jodi; Sidney Toutcheque and wife Kelly; Larry Toutcheque and wife Mauri; and a host of extended family.
Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Wiley Jefferson "Pop" and Doris Howell; sister, Barbara Toutcheque; and many other extended family.
Pall bearers are Donald Toutcheque Jr., Jeffrey Toutcheque, Sidney Toutcheque, Larry Toutcheque, Glen Prudhome and Jimmy Prudhome.
Honorary pall bearers are Mike Polk, Justin Toutcheque, Daniel Huerta, Jeremy Toutcheque, Lane Toutcheque, Tyler Toutcheque. Jeffrey Toutcheque Jr., Colton Toutcheque, Christian Cain.
