Thomas H. Howley January 11, 1951 – May 31, 2020 Thomas H. Howley (69) passed away Sunday May 31, 2020 at his Saginaw home. Born Jan 11, 1951, in Saginaw, MI.

Tom leaves behind two brothers and a sister in law; John and Delone Howley (Saginaw, MI), Daniel Howley (Peoria, AZ), a son William Shepherd (Saginaw) four nieces, one nephew, many cousins in Michigan, New York, and Florida as well as many friends and former classmates. He was preceded in death by his father John (d. 1965) and mother Helen (d. 1989). Tom grew up in Saginaw and was a member of the last graduating class of St. Andrew’s High School in 1969. He ran his own excavating business that evolved into a lawn sprinkler business for several years. Tom was bright, energetic, fun loving and an adventurous handyman. His optimistic and engaging personality helped him to develop many friendships and loving relationships that lasted throughout his life. He was a loyal friend, and a loving mentor and father figure to many of their children. Tom was gifted with much potential, but struggled with addiction at times. After two strokes limited his abilities, several friends and former classmates stepped up to support and help Tom. He was very grateful to them and regretted being unable to “repay” their kindness. Having an experience with Tom left lasting memories and stories; may his memory bring a smile to all. For information, please contact Fischer Family Funeral Services, 989-755-8277.
