"It's has been one year without you. And we wish you the best luck."

"All i can say is WOW! Mr. Howell was THE best teacher ive ever had in my whole grade school life. I can remember my first school day with him, first period Monday 8/22/2011 at 9:00am he said " what is your name" i said Emmanuel then he said "Welcome to class young man second seat first row". that line vividly paints a picture in my mind everyday but after the learning of his passing it just hit me like a jagged dagger i mean i even promised to come around in the summer and help out in his class. May you rest in peace Mr.Howell i know for sure i will see you in heaven one day!"

"Mr. Howell was my favorite teacher my 8th grade year at Walter C. Young Middle School. Though I wasn't a "teacher's pet" or the star student of our class, I had always felt kind of connected to him in a way I don't quite understand. When I got news of his accident and passing, how sudden it was, I was utterly devastated and actually cried for a couple days as if he were a relative or something... At the end of my 8th grade year, I told him I would come back to visit him while I was in high school. I kept forgetting and forgetting and then, it became much too late. Still can't believe he's gone... May you rest in peace Mr. Howell, I'll never forget you."

"Mr.Howell was my best language arts teacher in 8th grade at Walter c young 2011-2012. He taught me a lot of similes and metaphors. He also helped me when I am having trouble with something. He also tells our jokes to the class and make us proud. Mr.Howell my friend Andres Mendoza misses you so much that you will be missed at Walter c young."

"Mr.howell Was The Best Teacher I've ever had its sad to see him leave us I seen mr.howell as a dad not a teacher i will always make him laugh n lighting up his day.

"Patrick was a very dear friend of mine. He was kind, thoughtful, gentle, quick to help unconditionally and never said a negative word about anyone. My life has been blessed and is better for knowing him. Thank you God for lending your angel to us. It hurts to see him go but, rest in peace Patrick. "

"Passing WCY school this morning to drop off my son to a nearby high school we noticed the marque at WCY in loving memory of Patrick Howell. My son was very upset and sad that this wonderful teacher had passed away. He told me that Mr. Howell was his all time favorite teacher. From reading the messages here in this forum I know he most have been such a wonderful & kind human being as well as an inspiring teacher to so many people. The school system could certainly use more teachers like Mr. Howell and the world could certainly use more loving, kind and amazing human beings such as Mr. Howell. My deepest condolences to the friends and family who no doubt will miss him dearly. Mr. Howell was an angel on earth and now in Heaven. RIP "

"He never was my teacher, but the way his students talked about him made me want to have him as a teacher."

"Mr. Howell was one of the greatest teachers I ever had. I looked forward to his class every single day, and had a lot of fun in each lesson. He took special interest into his students; my dad still has Mr. Howell's card in his wallet. Mr. Howell will be dearly missed."

"Patrick Howell has given so much to so many people. He always stepped up to assist when something needed to be done. With his gentle ways he was amazing. We have lost a wonderful man and a terrific teacher. We will remember you, Patrick . He has taught us all. "

"Mr. Howell. You will always be the best teacher ever. Your sarcastic remarks, the way you would joke with the class, your crazy ties, you will never leave our memory. I hope you understand that as you loved us, we loved you as well. Thank you for being the best Language Arts teacher in all of history. Rest In Peace Mr. Howell..."

"It was with great sadness and extreme shock when I learned that Patrick, who was one of the world's true gentlemen had left us. Patrick had a quiet, respectful and humble manner, and was always willing to help. I for one will miss him greatly, I think that the world has lost one of it's angels. I will remember him always. Patrick rest in peace. Uncle Lee "

"Patrick's gentle, caring spirit will be truly missed. This legacy will live on in his students. To keep his memory alive, be kind and speek softly and kindly. The Lord givith and the Lord taketh, blessed be the name of the Lord. "

"Even though I've never had him as a teacher, I heard from my friends that he was a nice caring teacher who helped all of his students at everything. We will really miss you!"

"Mr. Howell was the best teacher anyone could have. My fourth period will never be the same without him. He was an amazing friend and spelling bee mentor. If it weren't for him I would have never gotten up on that stage and gotten second place. He will be missed greatly throughout the whole school. I I love and miss you Mr. Howell!"

"We have always loved you and will always be in our memories. We will miss you for ever."

"Mr. Howell was the best teacher I have ever had. He wasn't just my teacher he was my friend. He made us all laugh nad enjoy his class time. Now every time I see a tie or watch "Everybody hates Chris" I will think of him. All we are left is with great memories. -Gone but not forgotten WILL BE TRULY MISSED. "

"What a great teacher! RIP!"

"Patrick was a very caring person. Very kind to me. Will miss my friend. Pat"

"You have left your mark in this world, Patrick, as a kind, loving person. Slow to anger, and quick to praise in that soft voice of yours. Rest in peace, and in His care. ```` Uncle Paul."

"Patrick, I will always remember my first visit to America. You showed me around your neighbourhood and we drove to a McDonald's drive thru. You drove off with your fries in one hand and using the index finger on your other hand to steer through the streets on our way to downtown. "That's how we drive over here." I recall you saying. I will remember your laugh which would make any room that you were in a much happier place. I will always remember the fun times we had growing up in south London. You'll be sorely missed. Rest in peace. Uncle Carl."

"It seems as though it was only a short time ago that I used to walk you to and from school. How time passes! You touched many lives and now you too have passed, gone too soon. My nephew, I will always remember that radiant smile of yours, like the sun rays that have now set. Even at a young age, you showed love and kindness. I will remember you as long as memory lasts. I will miss you. Rest in peace. Uncle George"

"he was my teacher at wcy"

"Patrick and I worked together for 14 years. When Patrick started teaching at WCY he quickly became one of my favorite teachers. Patrick was always a gentleman, always helpful, and made my job as 8th grade secretary easier by always complying with deadlines. I will miss hearing him say, "He/She is on the way," whenever I called his classroom for a student, I will miss his humble smile, and I will also miss him spoiling me with Russell Stover sugar-free chocolate covered coconut. I will never forget Patrick, he will always hold his own special place in my heart, and I will always save him his seat at my Thanksgiving table. Patrick never had an unkind word to say about anyone, and he was loved by everyone! I will miss him, but I know I will see him again one day!"

"Patrick and I started working at WCY the same year. He was a quiet, gentle soul that became my friend while taking classes through St. Thomas University. We studied together, laughed together, and he taught all my ELL students this year. Patrick touched the lives and hearts of all his students. The faculty and staff of Walter C. Young has lost a true educator and a good friend. "

"Patrick was my Omega Psi Phi Greek brother! He was my co-worker, a true professional. He was a gentleman and always had a smile on his face. Whenever I needed something sweet to eat, I knew I could send a student to Mr. Howell's classroom. If he didn't have anything, the next day he would send something to my room. He was so thoughtful, not only with the staff but definitely with his students. He will certainly be missed at Walter C. Young Middle!"
