Our story

Kevin Brown Howard passed away on August 9th, 2025. Kevin, the youngest of two children, was born on March 26th 1999, to John and Dana Howard. Both of his parents served in the United States Air Force, so their family lived in numerous locations across the world. During job interviews, Kevin liked to sum up his childhood moves by stating that he attended first grade in Honolulu Hawaii, graduated high school in the United Kingdom, and lived in various locations across the United States in between. During a flight with his Dad in a general aviation aircraft, Kevin’s passion for aviation was ignited. His Dad was Kevin’s first flight instructor at the Travis Air Force Base Aero Club and the family was incredibly proud when he earned his Private Pilot license. Kevin went on to earn his Instrument rating and his Single/Multi-engine Commercial licenses and had accrued over 1,100 total hours. He was also selectively picked to become a Flight Operations Intern at United Airlines. Kevin’s first flying job was with Golden Gate Skydive in Novato and Cloverdale, California as a skydive pilot. He LOVED that job. He was recently hired as a second-in-command for pilots attending Beech 400 jet training at CAE’s simulator training center in Orlando, Florida. Additionally, he was set to begin a new position as a co-pilot on a Learjet 55 flying charter flights for Florida Jet. His eventual goal was to join his Dad as a pilot at United Airlines. Kevin always enjoyed flying and we hope this scholarship will enable others to have the same opportunity.

Our goal

Our son, Kevin, was happiest when he was flying. There are many other young men and women who share Kevin’s passion for flying, but finances can be major challenge to their journey. With that in mind, the Howard Family has decided to establish a scholarship in Kevin's name that will be awarded to deserving military Aero Club pilots to defray flying expenses associated with earning FAA licenses Kevin was proud to have earned.
