Roger Dale Howell, Sr.'s journey began January 14, 1958 in Davie County, North Carolina. He was the son of the late Lonnie H. Howell and Hazel Hairston Howell. On the morning of Sunday, April 14, 2024, he transitioned and went to be with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is a most difficult time for our family; we give thanksgiving for the years we shared Roger's life.


He was educated in the Davie County public schools where he attended Davie County High School, Mocksville, North Carolina. He was formerly employed with Pittsburgh Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.


Roger was always willing to lend a helping hand to his fellowman. He enjoyed being a member of the 4 Aces social club. One of his greatest joys was enjoying his family, especially his children and grandchildren.


In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four siblings: Robert Hairston, David W. Howell, Gilbert Howell, and Tammy Morrison.


A life filled with warmth, and loving memories will forever be treasured by his family and friends. Those who survive are: son, Roger Howell, Jr, of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania; daughter, Nachalin Ramsey of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; four grandchildren; three brothers: Ernie Hairston of Mocksville, North Carolina, Kenneth Hoover (Aletha) Howell of Concord, North Carolina and Royal Steven Howell of Wilkesboro, North Carolina; sister, Debbie Dillard of Mocksville, North Carolina; a devoted niece who was more like a sister, Gina (Ricky) Howell Dillard of Mocksville, North Carolina; a devoted friend, Joann Little of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

A Memorial Service will be held on 1:00 PM, Friday, April 19, 2024, at Roberts Funeral Service Chapel.
