Ventrayvious Howard, lovingly known as “Boobie,
”was born on December 6, 1990, in Albany, Georgia, where he spent his life surrounded by family, familiarity, and love.
Ventrayvious was a man of quiet strength, deep loyalty, and undeniable
heart. He attended Westover High School and later continued his education
at Albany Technical College. He was first employed with his uncle Johnny
doing carpentry work where needed and then later became employed with
the Dougherty County Cleaning Service with his uncle Willie, where he
showed up faithfully and worked with pride. He may not have been loud,
but his actions spoke volumes - dependable, consistent ,and always there
when it mattered most.
Those who knew Ventrayvious knew his love for old-school cars, especially
his appreciation for rims. It wasn’t just a hobby- it was joy, creativity, and
expression for him. He found peace in the details, beauty in craftsmanship,
and pride in making something classic shine again.
One of the simplest yet most powerful reflections of who he was came
through his favorite words: “I got you.

”It wasn’t just something he said — it was something he lived. Whether through presence, protection, support, or loyalty, Ventrayvious meant it. And if he told you that, you knew you weren’t alone.
On December 15, 2025,at the age of 35, God gently called him home, leaving behind hearts forever changed by his presence. He was preceded in death by his father, Willie A. Brown, Jr. ; his brother, Derrick Williams; his grandmothers, Doretha Howard; his grandfathers, Willie R. Howard and Willie A. Brown, Sr., his uncles, George Fields and O.B. Summerlin and great uncle Sam Williams, Jr. and his aunts, Jacquelyn Howard, Katrina Brown, and Ola Mae Oliver.

(Annie) Edwards.
