Howard was a life-long farmer with an extremely strong land ethic, as well as a rural mail carrier for many years.

As a 17-year-old Army Air Corps trainee, he was dutied to guard the B-17 crash outside Denison May 9, 1944.
Land stewardship and historical preservation were two of Howard's passions. He was a lifetime supporter of Oakland Cemetery, a lifetime member of the Iowa Numismatic Association and 40+ year member of the Crawford County Historical Society, where he was instrumental in the McHenry House and Dow House projects.
An avid hunter, wildlife habitat was an integral part of his farm management. He loved to share his land with friends and family as long as they shared their memories of the day afield.
Throughout his life, he supported many organizations promoting habitat; such as, Pheasants Forever, Izaak Walton League, National Wild Turkey Federation and others.
In lieu of donations or memorials, Howard would prefer you plant a tree, shrub or help to preserve wildlife habitat in some fashion.
He is survived by many extended family members.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Nancy; his parents, Herb and Nina McMinimee; brother Lt. James B. McMinimee; sister, Gladys Arlene McMinimee (Morgan); nephew, Charles D. Morgan; niece, Deborah Buhr; grand-nephew Michael Buhr, and many beloved bird dogs.
