Michael Anthony Howell Sr.

Michael "Mike" Anthony Howell, Sr., 64, of Lexington, passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2025. Born in Miami, FL, he was the son of Mary Wooten Howell and the late Frank Howell. Mike worked as an operator with Southern Plastics until the company’s closing. He was a proud South Carolina Gamecock fan and loved NASCAR, fishing, and rock music. Known for his quick wit and playful spirit, Mike was a true jokester who always had an inside joke ready and enjoyed pulling pranks on those he loved.

He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, who will always remember his laughter and the joy he brought into their lives.

Surviving are his son, Tony Howell (Kayla); grandson, Riley; sister, Robin Deweese (Michael); nieces and nephew, Zarah Deweese Newton (J.D.), Daniel Deweese (Julia), and Chrystal Gasowski (Steven); and special friends, Laura Harvey (Matt) and Donna Grist. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by a brother, Ricky Howell and nephew, Donald Howell.

The memorial service for Mike will be held at 11 o'clock on Saturday, August 2nd, at Bethlehem Baptist Church, 607 S. Bethlehem Road, Batesburg, SC 29006, with Pastor Lawrence Carrigan officiating.
