Howard Dennis Koch

Howard Dennis Koch (of Harlem, Georgia) passed away during the evening of November 20th, 2023 at his son’s house. He lost his fight with cancer after only discovering it 5 months earlier. He was a hard working man whose family and friends meant everything to him. He was always willing to offer a helping hand to anyone that asked. Howard loved to fish and hunt when he wasn’t busy doing renovations, construction, and handyman work. He enjoyed people and was always quick to chat up anyone, stranger or not. Howard got to spend his last remaining months with his sons (Brandon and Jesse) as he battled cancer. He loved holding his newly born grandson Johnathan a.k.a. Monkey Butt and would show pictures to anyone that would look at them. There was never a more proud Pappy. He was preceded in death by his father Robert and mother Betty. He left behind memories with his siblings (David, Bobby, Barbara Anne, Susan, and Nancy), wife (Virginia), sons (Brandon and Jesse), grandsons (William, Owen, and Johnathan), and countless nephews and nieces.
