Howard Karl Manwaring, loving husband and devoted father, son and brother, passed away June 3, 2002 at his home surrounded by his family, after courageously fighting a long, hard battle with Pancreatic Cancer. He met this challenge with great faith, strength and determination that so characterized his life.
Born April 16, 1952 in Salt Lake City to Karl H Manwaring and Carma Rae Davis (Dale W.) Black, the second of six children. His youth was spent at Lowell Elementary, Bryant Jr. High, and East High Schools. He continued his education at the University of Utah.
Howard was an active member in the LDS church, having served in many callings, touching many lives for good along the way. He especially loved serving as a Primary teacher. He left a great legacy of faith and love to all with whom he served.
Howard worked all of his life in the field of construction, construction management and consulting. His projects were from Southern California to Prudoe Bay, Alaska and as distant as Peking, China. As the owner of HKM Construction Consulting he spent years working in the San Francisco Bay Area helping to rebuild after the earthquake. He loved all aspects of the construction field and truly excelled in his field of work.
Hobbies and interests included boating, skiing, model railroads, fly fishing, football, and coaching his four children in a variety of sports. He was well read in history, events, places and people. He could read something one time and retain it forever. If anyone ever needed and answer to any question, he could and would give the correct answer. Many times the children would try and stump the master, but to no avail!
Howard had three goals he wanted to accomplish before he died: 1) to reach the age of 50. 2) to see his daughter graduate from college and 3) to see his oldest son graduate from the Marine Corp. Miraculously, Howard lived to realize all three of these goals before his passing. In his final weeks, Howard also enjoyed going to Clark's soccer games and Chase's wrestling matches.
Howard married Laura Jean Hyde on November 28, 1980 and they were later sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on April 19, 1985. They lived in Redondo Beach, CA, Benicia, CA and Sandy, UT. They were blessed with four wonderful children, Courtney Lynn (20), Chandler Howard (18), Chase Thomas (16) and Clark Davis (12).
He is survived by his wife and four children, mother, siblings Christina (John W.) Huish, Patricia (Cary) Wood, Deanne (Jeff) Mohamed, Sandra McCarthy, Paul C. Manwaring, Marisa Manwaring, and Kara (Clayton) Hunt. Howard was also preceded in death by twin brothers, Ron and Robert. His Father, Karl Manwaring, also preceded Howard in death and we know he was waiting on the other side to take Howard home.
The family expresses thanks to the many wonderful doctors and nurses that helped Howard battle his cancer. A special thanks to the Staff at Central Valley Dialysis where Howard had many good friends.
