Warren Keith

Howard

Warren Keith Howard of San Antonio, Texas died peacefully in his home on Saturday, November 8th, 2026, at the age of 68. Keith was born January 15th, 1958, in Richardson, Texas. He graduated from J.J. Pearce High School and went on to Baylor University, where he studied journalism and was a French horn player in the Baylor Band- their alma mater and fight song later becoming nighttime lullabies for his children. He went on to St. Mary’s University School of Law, graduating in 1985, and worked as an Assistant District Attorney for Bexar County, and later a Criminal Defense Attorney. Keith Howard left actively practicing law to faithfully serve the calling placed upon him; he served as a Ruling Elder and Teaching Elder of Faith Presbyterian Church for over two decades, where the topic of his Savior’s abundant grace would often leave him teary-eyed and choked up behind the pulpit.

Keith was a man of many interests and hobbies. He was an avid outdoorsman who passed his love and knowledge of hunting and fishing on to his children; some of their earliest memories were created hunting with him at Bassett Farms or fishing with him and his family at South Padre Island. He also loved music and was a connoisseur of Broadway and big band, especially Frank Sinatra- which would be Keith’s chosen artist for late nights with a colicky baby and then for their father-daughter dance that they would share 23 years later. Keith was an avid reader, a sports enthusiast (for any sport but soccer), a theologian, a chili cook-off champion, and was known for his intelligence in almost any trivia topic. He cherished his title of ‘Grumpa’ and spoiling his grandchildren with plenty of chocolate, Cheetos, and ice cream. Above all, his absolute greatest joy in life was in following the Lord and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

He is survived by his daughter Carrie and son-in-law Kody Delmare of San Antonio; son Charles and daughter-in-law Megan Howard of New Braunfels; granddaughter Addison Delmare and grandson Reece Delmare; brother Chip and sister-in-law Debbie Howard; his nieces and their families; and his loyal canine companion Scout. He was preceded in death by son Timothy Swanson and his father and mother Charles and Lucille Howard.

The family will hold a graveside service in Moody, Texas at the Moody Cemetery on Friday, November 20th at 1:00pm. A memorial service will be held at Faith Presbyterian Church in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, November 21st at 2:30pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in his name to Discovery Camps, where he proudly served on the board for several years.
