James P. "Jimi" Howell

James “Jimi” P. Howell, 67, of Carlisle, PA and Ponce Inlet, FL entered the gates of heaven on Tuesday, September 03, 2019. Born on October 13, 1951, in Carlisle, PA, he was the son of the late James C. and Donna (Snyder) Howell. Jimi enjoyed 41 years of marriage to his loving wife, Gwen (Sebring) Howell.

(husband, Shaun) Foote, 4 grandchildren, Andrew, Gabriel and Victoria Howell and Grayson Foote, all of Carlisle, and 2 brothers Mark E. (wife, Katrina) Howell of Charleston, SC and Richard K. (wife, MaryBeth) Howell of Carlisle.
Jimi grew up in Carlisle and is a graduate of Carlisle Area High School and earned his AA decree at Wesley College in Dover, DE. He was a hard worker and an even better salesman. For 21 years, Jimi and Gwen owned and operated Howell’s Harley-Davidson & Triumph Motorcycles. He was a motorcycle enthusiast, who has ridden a motorcycle in all 48 continental states. He took most of his vacations on a motorcycle…as he believed, there was no better way to see the county than with the wind in your face.

He was also a member of the Carlisle Fish and Game, Flagler Gun Club, The Turnpike Ramblers, Old Farts with Kick Starts, Masonic Lodge 260, Eastern Harley-Davidson Dealer Association, and was the Past President of Pennsylvania Motorcycle Dealer Association.
Jimi enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling, reading and was a huge history buff. He traveled all around the world to watch Formula 1 races and enjoyed spending time with his many groups of friends.
