Wednesday, March 2, 2022
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Howard. My heart and condolences go out to his family. I first met Howard in the 90's while playing softball against him in Arlington Va. He was all about team first. Howard was a very nice guy who would give you the shirt off of his back. He was always a very positive person and he loved to have fun. He was also very intellectual. I am going to truly miss him at the CIAA Basketball Tournament and Virginia Union Homecoming's. Every year he would send me the list of parties for CIAA. This year, I didn't receive one but didn't think nothing of it. I found out the day of his funeral that he had passed away and I was very hurt because I couldn't get there. When I would come into town, he would always get me a hotel room and make sure that I had tickets for the parties. He was the life of the party and had a heart of gold. Howard will be truly missed. CIAA will never be the same without him. I will keep his family in prayers. God bless.

A young man introduced himself to me and my roommates on a sunny day in 1982 at VUU's Hartshorn hall. From that moment on he was a friend and guide throughout our days at Union and beyond. Howard connected us to homecomings and events throughout the DMV. He was a true servant of God and his light shined so brightly each and every day. At that time I did not know I was entertaining an Angel, but God knew. I thank God for the life of Howard Cook. He served the community and toiled heavily in helping others. He had a Godly purpose on this land and his good work will continue on in the lives he touched. May the Cook family, friends and Panther family be encouraged.

My heartfelt condolences to Family and Friends. I'm among so many who can truly say Howard was kind with a gentle soul. My bother Wayne is also a Sigma Fraternity brother and VUU graduate...they were great friends. I've attended Howard's events through the years as my brother would say "you want to go".
A minute ago is truly a minute ago...RIP
God's peace and comfort to the bereaved.

My beloved friend and brother Howard Cook. I had the honor of meeting “Howie the Panther” at Virginia Union University 38 years ago. To know Howie was to love him. What a beautiful, genuine, caring and loving spirit. I will cherish the friendship we had. He was the perfect gentleman always checking on and encouraging others. I will miss him calling before CIAA, VUU Homecoming and him coming to West Virginia to support Big Bay. Rest my friend, job well done good and faithful servant of God. Sending love, peace and prayers to the Cook family, VUU family and friends.
Love & prayers,
Jessica Calloway Canty

Howard was caring , kind and thoughtful beyond measure . He loved God , his family , Phi Beta Sigma and VUU. He truly was a blessing to everyone that crossed his path and he brought joy and laughter to us all . I find comfort in knowing he is with HIS Savior , no doubt planning events and singing in heavens choir. He is also reunited with his beloved Mother .

I have nothing but great memories of you going all the way back to 1981 when I use to see you in that Panther suit. Homecoming and CIAA will never be the same without you. You will be and are truly missed. RIP my VUU brother. I will always have great memories of you

Dear family of Howard Cook, may you be comforted by the Arms of Jesus as you mourn the loss of your loved one. May peace surround you, may love overtake you and my memories forever flood your hearts.
I met Howard in 1984 when I was a freshman at Virginia Union University and he always encouraged me to stay on task. It was always a pleasure to see him at homecoming and encounter a big hug along with his winning smile.
He will be sorely missed ... rest easy my dear VUU brother!
Love,
Onya

Howard and I had a friendship that spans on longevity. I truly feel for your loss of someone so Loved by anyone who he came in contact with. He cane from good stock and that was shown thru his kindness and how he treated everyone with respect. Like true Brothers we had crazy times too. Those are the times that will keep him closer in my Heart. May Love Comfort and Hugs surround the Family.

To Pastor Ingrid Gant and the beloved Gant-Cook family,
Though we were all surprised and caught off guard at Howard’s sudden passing, we know that our God was NOT. Santele and I are forever grateful for the opportunity to know Howard and to count him as a friend! We are forever blessed by memories of sharing ministry and just plain fun! I’m especially thankful that I had a trusted friend who could be a strong but caring male in SAN’s life just when she needed it most. His wisdom and constant support are treasures in my life and ministry! May the peace of God, the love of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit keep you now and always!
Pastor A (Alyce Walker Johnson) and Santele Richey-Taylor.

We want to express our condolences and prayers for the loss your dear love one, Howard Cook. Howard was always respectful and kind. He carried himself in a way that our youth could follow. Every time we hear the song “Falling in Love with Jesus,” we think of Howard for he sang this solo for the Celestial Echos. Howard would be truly missed but always remembered.
