Kennis D. Howard aka "Mack" was born in Rockford, Illinois on February 22, 1968.  He passed away unexpectedly on June 29, 2024. He was the only child of the union of Huey L. & Georgia M. Howard who preceded him in death.  He attended Lincoln Park High School and made many friends, as he was an avid basketball player and loved football as well.  Kennis gave his life to Christ at an early age and was a longtime member of Greater Little Rock Baptist Church, Pastored by Elder LeRoy Davenport.

Kennis worked as a Mechanical Engineer in Howard's Automotive Shop on the north side of Chicago where he was the co-owner with his dad.

He loved music and occasionally DJed.  Kennis related well with people and always had a "true" story. Having a very kind heart and an even temper, he would go above and beyond to help anyone he considered to be a friend or whomever simply needed help.

He will be missed tremendously.
