Kenneth Howington Obituary

Kenneth Neil Howington

October 27, 2024

GATE CITY, VA - Kenneth Neil Howington, age 58, of Gate City, Virginia, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 27th, 2024.

He was born in Kingsport, TN, to the late Robert and Edna Howington. In addition to his parents, Neil was also preceded in death by his brothers, Ronnie, Gary, and Gerald Howington.

Neil attended school in Gate City and became a Brick Mason. He worked in Construction for over 30 years and enjoyed hunting and fishing. Neil can best be described as funny, outgoing, and caring. He had a great sense of humor but also cared deeply for those he loved; he could light up any room he was in.

Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter, Deanna Howington; his sisters, Rita Dingus and Denise Reed; his brothers, Alan, Larry, Eddie, and Michael Howington; several grandchildren, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins; and his best friend, Michelle Ferguson.

A Gathering of Friends will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, 2024. Please contact Michelle for more information regarding the services on Saturday.

Trinity Memorial Centers Funeral Home (423-723-8177) is honored to serve the Howington family during their time of need. Online condolences and memories can be shared with the family on our website at www.trinitymemorialcenters.com.
