It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Howarth, although unwell for some time he passed suddenly on Sunday 19th October, at 62 years old. Survived by his loving wife Nicola, son Marcus, granddaughter Millie, and mother Vera. John had a great love for life and will be fondly remembered for his outgoing personality and kind and generous nature. We would like to invite everyone to join us for his funeral at Wimborne Minster at 11am on Thursday 13th November followed by his burial at Wimborne Cemetery and a celebration of his life at Wimborne Royal British Legion.

Rest In Peace John. Reunited with Andrew and your Dad, free from pain and able to wander again. You will not be forgotten but missed and thought of everyday.
BROTHER
My mind still talks to you
My heart still looks for you
But my soul knows you’re at peace
Gone too soon but never forgotten
Rest in peace John

Rest in peace John, you truly are one in a million xx
May you rest in peace John. It was an honour and pleasure to serve with, and along side you.
Be with your boy Andrew.
