It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Howard Wilson, who left this world on February 21, 2025. Howard was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. He is survived by his devoted wife of many years, Clesta Tickle-Wilson; his two loving daughters, Lindsay Aringdale and Callie Soltero; and his eight cherished grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and pride.

A true lover of classic rock music, Howard could often be found humming along to his favorite tunes or sharing stories about the legendary bands he admired or worked with. His passion for music was infectious, and he delighted in passing that love on to his family and friends.

Howard was also known for his incredible sense of humor, which brought laughter and lightness to every room he entered. His quick wit and playful spirit were gifts that will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Though Howard's presence will be deeply missed, his legacy of love, faith, and laughter will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. A life well-lived, Howard's memory will forever be a blessing to those who were fortunate enough to know him.

A celebration of Howard's life will be held at Living Water Christian Church (1351 Sprinkle Drive, Jacksonville, Florida 32211) on March 1st, 2025 at 11am.

Rest in peace, Howard. Your light will continue to shine in the lives of all who loved you.
