On January 20, 2015, 34-year-old Marquas Dwane Howard Sr. died in Fort Worth, Texas. His obituary names his wife Dora Teel-Howard, parents Nathaniel and Magnolia Howard, and children and stepchildren Marquas Howard Jr., Dorian Howard, Tyren Howard, Diego Howard, Jormarcus King, and Anthony and Christine Tatum as survivors. The obituary does not say how he died.

That birth date would make that individual 15 at the time of the 2015 death, indicating a likely discrepancy or a different person with the same name. The specific circumstances surrounding Howard Sr.’s death remain unclear.

Did anyone in Fort Worth remember Marquas Howard Sr. or have information about what happened to him?
