Andrew Clark Howell<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Andy was born August 21, 1984, in Upper Sandusky. He graduated from Van Wert High School and earned a degree in broadcast journalism from Ohio University. He had a successful career as an Emmy Award-winning executive producer in local TV news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy married his beloved wife, Kathleen Bostdorff, in 2015. His proudest accomplishment, their son Charles, was born in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At his best, Andy was an adventurer, a woodworker, a photographer, a guitarist, and a film critic. At his worst, he was brave and loving. A true Gryffindor at heart, Andy loved to root for the Cleveland Indians and Browns, and proudly passed on the tradition to his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy was preceded in death by his brother, Jim, and grandparents Paul and Ellen Young and James Howell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is survived by his wife, Katie; son Charlie; parents Wendy and Jim Howell; grandmother Eileen Howell; sister Beth; brother Chris; and many loving in-laws and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A memorial service will be organized at a later date.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University, or Glen Helen Nature Preserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
