Obituary
Mr. Wayne Douglas Ho\vard \vas born December 11, 1962, to the parentage of Mr. Henry Howard and l\1rs. Rhunette Ho\vard.
\Vayne is a native and lifelong resident of Fulton County, Georgia. He often \Vas seen on television raising funds for health events. He \Vas a loving and fun-giving person to be around.
On Wednesday night, July 26, 1995, death beckoned him with outstretched hands, and whispered softly ofan "Unknown Land". He \Vas not afraid to go, for though the path he did not kno\v, he took death's hand without fear, for He whobrought him safely here also took him safely back. He did not let him go alone, into the valley that's unknown-he reached out and took death's hand, and journeyed to the Promised Land.
Chelishing his memolies: A special loved one, Ms. Sandra Ed\vards of Atlanta, Georgia; one sister, Ms. Debra Farley of Atlanta; one brother, Mr. Derrick Humphries, of Atlanta; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Howard of Atlanta; one grandfather, Mr. George Ho\vard of Eatonton, Georgia; one grandmother, Mrs. \Villie Mae Humphries of Eatonton; three uncles, Mr. Robert L. Humphlies, Jr., of College Park, Georgia, Mr. Leroy Hovvard of Forest Park, Georgia, and Mr. Herschel Howard of Lynchburg, Virginia; five aunts, Ms. Ann Chappell and l\1s. Bernice Webbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ms. Emma Smith of Chicago, Illinois, Ms. Barbara Ford of Eatonton, and Ms. Margaret Richardson ofAtlanta; two nieces, Wykeia Farley and Deblika Humples ofAtlanta; and, a host of family and fliends.
~vayne played a very important part in the MDA. At the age of seven, Wayne 'became Atlantas MDA Poster Child. He went on to be Poster Child for the State. of
Georgia. By the age of 12 he was the u.s. Poster Child.
Wayne was a faithful worker and enjoyed traveling with the MDA. He was fortunate to meet several celebraties. He looked forward to this time of the year 'because he was scheduled to appear on the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
Like a ship that's left its mooring And sails bravely out to sea,
So someone dear has sailed away In calm serenity.
