In Loving Memory of Bradley Maynard Howell
June 3, 1983 – April 22, 2025
O’Fallon, Missouri
With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Bradley Maynard Howell, age 41, who departed this life on April 22, 2025. Bradley was a beloved husband, devoted father, loyal friend, and an active, cherished member of the O’Fallon community. His sudden departure leaves a void that words can scarcely fill, yet his memory will continue to inspire and live on in the lives he so deeply touched.
Born on June 3, 1983, Bradley lived a life marked by kindness, dedication, and a quiet strength that radiated to all who knew him. Whether it was his warm smile, helping hand, or unwavering support for those he loved, Bradley embodied a spirit of selflessness and genuine care. He approached every aspect of life—family, work, friendships, and faith—with integrity, humility, and compassion.
Bradley was the rock of his family, deeply committed to his wife Kimberly, whom he loved with a devotion that never wavered. Together, they built a home filled with love, laughter, and resilience. As a father, Bradley was endlessly proud of his five children—Hannah, Alexis, Mabrie, John, and Logan—each of whom was the light of his life. He nurtured them with wisdom, encouraged their dreams, and instilled values of love, perseverance, and grace.
Bradley also made a lasting impact beyond his home. Known for his strong work ethic and sense of responsibility, he carried these qualities into his profession and community involvement. He was a friend who would drop everything to lend support, a neighbor who went out of his way to help, and a role model for many. Those who knew Bradley knew him as someone who lived not for recognition, but to make a difference—quietly and meaningfully.
His faith was the cornerstone of his life, guiding his every step. He was an active member of SunRise Church in O’Fallon, where he not only found spiritual fulfillment but also a community of fellowship and love. Whether volunteering, mentoring, or simply being a steady presence, Bradley’s contributions to the church and the community left a lasting impression on many.
A visitation will be held on Friday, May 2, 2025, to give friends and loved ones an opportunity to share their condolences, celebrate his life, and honor his memory. The funeral service will follow on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at SunRise Church in O’Fallon, where we will gather to remember the incredible man Bradley was and the legacy he leaves behind.
While we mourn the loss of Bradley, we also celebrate the gift of his life. He leaves behind a trail of love, strength, and kindness that will continue to echo through the lives of his family and everyone blessed to know him. In our hearts, his light will never fade.
Rest peacefully, Bradley. You will be missed more than words can say, and remembered more than you could ever know.
