Howard Walter Andreasen Jr.

Howard Walter Andreasen Jr., 73, of Melbourne, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2026.

Howard was born on February 8, 1953, at Shore Road Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, to Howard Walter Andreasen Sr. and Edna Helen Andreasen.

Howard dedicated many years of service to the New York City Transit Authority, where he worked as a Surface Line Dispatcher before retiring in 2007. He took great pride in his work and was respected by those who had the pleasure of working alongside him.

Outside of work, Howard found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved photography and had an eye for capturing meaningful moments. He was happiest near the water, where he found peace and contentment, and he enjoyed spending countless hours tinkering with electronics, always curious to learn how things worked and eager to solve a problem.

Above all, Howard was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He shared 49 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Judith Marie Andreasen, whose love and partnership were the foundation of his life.

Howard leaves behind his loving wife, Judith Marie; his sister, Joan; his children, Heather and her husband William, Howard III and his wife Meghan, Hilliary and her husband Joseph, and Haleigh and her partner Matthew; and his cherished grandchildren, Skylar, Sean, Scott, Guliana, Camila, Josselynn, Ondie, and Ollie. His family was the greatest source of pride and joy in his life, and the memories they created together will be treasured forever.

Though Howard’s presence will be deeply missed, his quiet strength, kind heart, gentle spirit, and unwavering love for his family will continue to live on in all who knew and loved him.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Howard’s life during his funeral service. He will be laid to rest on Friday, July 10, 2026, at Memorial Gardens in Rockledge, Florida.

May fair winds and calm seas guide him home, and may his memory forever be a blessing.
