Dwayne Boyd Howard, age 69, passed away on April 3, 2026.

Dwayne Boyd Howard, of Yellville, Arkansas, passed away on April 3, 2026, at Countryside at Rock Springs in Harrison, Arkansas.  He was born on May 1, 1956, in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of Toney and Peggy (Mabury) Howard.

He had a deep love for the outdoors, finding peace in quiet mornings by the water with a fishing rod in hand and the gentle sounds of nature all around him.  Whether casting a line at his favorite fishing spot or simply enjoying the fresh air, he felt most at home outside.  When he wasn’t outdoors, he could almost always be found cheering his favorite teams, proudly supporting the St. Louis Cardinals and the Denver Broncos.  Win or lose, his loyalty never wavered, and game days were always something he looked forward to. 

Dwayne is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Dwight Howard and sister Kathie Hendrick. He is survived by his 2 siblings, Toney (LuAnn) Howard, and Lockie (George) Courtney and their daughter Cathy.  Also, he leaves behind his 3 nephews, Paul (Gretchen) Hendrick III, Daniel (Bridget) Hendrick and Matthew (Rhonda) Hendrick and other family and friends. Howard will be missed by all that knew and loved him dearly.

Arrangements are under the care of Diamond State Cremation located in Lead Hill, Arkansas.
