Obituary
On Friday 1/14/22, SGT Howard R.
Rankin USMC was reactivated with permanent orders to
Headquarters, Heavenly Guard Battalion. Howard
deployed, leaving behind his loving wife Jennie,
daughters Kim and Jessie, and sons Joel and David.
Howard was the proud grandfather of Trenton, Alex
(big), Alex (little), Thomas, Ben, Zoe, and
Ambrosia. Howard is also survived by his mother
Jessie, sisters Donna and Joyce, and brother Gary.
Howard is joining his father Offie, sister Connie,
and brother Bill in the hereafter.
Howard’s permanent change of station orders will
allow him an eternity to pursue his favorite
pastimes of bowling, tomahawk throwing, and classic
car restoration. Howard was active in his church
community and bowling league, and truly never met a
stranger. As Howard’s orders didn’t include a
household goods allowance, he leaves behind some of
his most cherished possessions, to include his 1969
Chevelle, 20 years’ worth of car magazines, an 8
track tape collection, a fabulous pair of plaid wool
bellbottoms, and his everlasting love and
generosity.
A memorial gathering celebrating Howard’s life will
take place on Saturday, January 22, 2022 from
2:00pm-5:00pm at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral
Home in Lincoln.
Memorial donations may be made in Howard’s name to
Little Galilee Christian Camp & Retreat Center in
Clinton.
