Rest in Peace mr. Hoyland!By mistake I wanted to search your name and I found it, and what a horrible news was to know that you passed away.I knew you for almost two weeks in the hospital!All my thoughts are with the family.Your man Sebastian from Lebanon!
We met Howdy and Marybeth selling eggs to them. He had a personality larger then life. I will miss seeing him come into Rurl King and Walmart. Rest in peace Howdy you are missed and Marybeth may God wrap you in his loving arms around you and give you peace.Sheila

My husband D'Wayne and Howdy were good friends at Maroa High School. D'Wayne passed away 20 years ago and Howdy was great to visit him when he was sick. He always made him laugh (imagine that!). Rest in Peace, my friendSandy Lynch
I haven't known Howdy for a long time and didn't know him especially well, but we did have a standing joke between us! Even though I didn't know him well, I thought the world of him because you see, he was so good to my kids. They loved him so much and had been very close friends for several years. I know he had a great sense of humor and was full of Howdyisms! He also was great for giving advice, some of which I would rather he had not given my grandson! (Just kidding) Howdy you will be greatly missed by so many, but I know you are kicking up your heels in heaven with no more pain. We will all be looking for you on the other side where you and our Lord will be preparing a place for us.
Howdy, was one of a kind. Had lots of good weekends in Decatur back in the 80's at the farm. See you on the other side, Howdy. Trace Case
The neighborhood will never be the same. Your humor brought many a laughs from all of us. Gone but never forgotten. Millie Dupont-Pruett
You always brought a smile to my face when talking about Uncle Joe and dirt tracking. Will miss seeing you at Menards. Karen Blazer Cuttill
Oh, Howdy. You finally made it. Wishing you a quick journey to the next level. Take care and we'll see you on the other side, my friend. Joe & Becky
You made working at ADM more enjoyable. I still remember Curly's and some great lunch companions also. You had a great spirit and sense of humor! My other family loved you as well~You will be greatly missed by many! I will never forget the ranch and buffalo either. You truly are one-of-a-kind and I thank you for your friendship!
