It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Bryce Howell, a valued employee of Colquitt EMC and a treasured member of the communities of Adel and Hahira, Georgia. Bryce passed away recently, leaving behind an enduring legacy of kindness, hard work, and unforgettable memories.
A graduate of Cook High School, Bryce was a proud product of his hometown of Adel, and he continued to serve his region with heart and dedication. Residing in Hahira, Georgia, Bryce made a life defined by loyalty, laughter, and meaningful relationships that left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
For nearly four years, Bryce served as a Lineman with Colquitt EMC, playing a critical role in keeping the lights on and the community connected — often through storms, long hours, and dangerous conditions. His coworkers and leadership alike remember him as a reliable, skilled, and humble team member who always showed up ready to give his best. Bryce’s commitment to his work wasn’t just about wires and powerlines; it was about serving the people of his community with quiet bravery and selflessness.
But beyond his professional life, Bryce was so much more. To his friends, he was the one who could always make them laugh. To his family, he was a source of pride and unconditional love. And to those who crossed his path, even for a brief moment, he was the kind of person you don’t forget—genuine, approachable, and simply a joy to be around.
Bryce often described himself as “single forever,” but those who knew him best would say his heart was full—with loyalty to his friends, deep love for his family, and a strong sense of purpose in everything he did. The laughter he sparked, the bonds he built, and the memories he left behind are now the cherished treasures of those he leaves behind.
Colquitt EMC released a heartfelt message mourning the loss of their colleague, stating:
“Colquitt EMC mourns the loss of employee, Bryce Howell. Bryce served Colquitt EMC for nearly 4 years and worked as a Lineman. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time.”
As we remember Bryce, we are reminded of the fragile beauty of life and the importance of community, of friendship, and of sharing gratitude for those who make our lives brighter—like Bryce did, every single day.
You’ll never be forgotten, Bryce.
Forever thankful for the memories and the laughs that can never be replaced. Your light remains in all of us.
Funeral arrangements and opportunities to honor Bryce’s life will be shared by the family when available. In the meantime, the community is encouraged to keep the Howell family in their prayers and to reflect on the impact of a life lived with quiet strength and boundless heart.
Rest in peace, Bryce Howell.
