Obituary For Mr. Justin Tremaine Howard "Jay"

Mr. Justin Tremaine Howard, more affectionately known as “Jay,” was born on June 20, l995, to Mrs. Cathy Pennyman Howard and Mr. Clint Howard in Thomaston, Upson County, Georgia. He was educated in the public schools of Upson County and graduated from Upson-Lee High School with the class of 2013. After high school, he enrolled in Gordon State College and pursued a career in Education earning his Associate Degree.

Justin was presently working for Clayton County Board of Education teaching at Lake City Elementary School as a Para-pro. He enjoyed working at the school and counseling the children. He loved the children and he was loved in return. He also served as an assistant coach in basketball, football and soccer at the school.

Justin was a member of Outreach Ministry Church in Thomaston, GA. He loved the teaching of the word and applied it to his everyday life. He had a kind and generous spirit, he loved helping others and was always trying to do the right things in life. He was a role model for his family and he was unapologetic. He genuinely loved his family and friends unconditionally with his whole heart.

During his leisure time, he enjoyed going out eating his favorites: steak, oysters, and lobster tails, traveling, attending social events with his family and friends, laughing and being the life of the party, driving new cars, and he loved life.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Mr. Wesley Pennyman; his paternal grandparents, Mr. Casey Howard and Mrs. Dorothy Howard. On Monday, March 17, 2025, the Lord called him home from labor to reward. His spirit took flight and returned to the Heavenly Father. His departure has saddened the hearts of his family, but his memory will live on.

He leaves to cherish his memory his parents, Mr. Clint and Cathy Howard; maternal grandmother, Mrs. Annie Grace Pennyman; his brother, Mr. Traven Howard, his God-son, Preston Stewart all of Thomaston, GA; aunts and uncles include, Mrs. Gwen (Ricky) Vaughner and Mrs. Melinda (Vinnie) Paige all of Thomaston, GA, Ms. Tiffany Howard, Marquis and the girls of Stockbridge, GA; a host of great aunts and great uncle; close cousins, Treondra Paige of Griffin, GA, Taneka (Terrance) Trice and Tamya Trice of Powder Springs, GA, and Derrick Vaughner of Barnesville, GA; four devoted friends, Diamond Pennyman, Ekorea Gray, Keyunna Geiger, Shaunquake Stewart and Meona Lowe; a host of other cousins and other relatives and friends.
