Son of Lewis Telle Cannon and Martha Maughan Howell
Married Ruth Bowman, 26 May 1939, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Obituary - Howell Quayle Cannon, age 94, died on April 24, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah, of causes incident to age.
He was born in Salt Lake on March 4, 1908 to Lewis Telle and Martha Howell Cannon. He attended the University of Utah for two years prior to serving for two-and-a-half years in the Swiss-German LDS Mission. He then returned to the U of U briefly before moving to Washington D.C. where, in 1938, he graduated from George Washington University.
Howell leaves a legacy of service to his family, church, and community. Over a period of 50 years of architectural practice, he was clerk and inspector of construction, Office of the Architect of the Capitol, Washington, D.C.; Superintendent for U.S. Bureau of Mines Experiment Station Building, Salt Lake; member of the firm Cannon and Mullen Architects (later Cannon and McCune); and a principal in Deseret Architects and Engineers/DLR group from 1944 until his retirement in 1988. He served as the president of the Utah chapter of the American Institute of Architects 1949-1950; member of the Utah State Board of Architects 1959-1960, Chairman in 1961. He served 21 years on the Salt Lake Planning and Zoning Commission including six years as Vice-Chairman and, for many years, was the chairman of the Salt Lake City Downtown Development Committee. He was co-author of ""The Missing Link"" which described Salt Lake's need for a downtown convention center and which helped lead to the realization of the Salt Palace.
Howell was a faithful member of the LDS church and served in many ward and stake callings including teacher, missionary, high councilor, and bishop for six years of the Salt Lake Stratford Ward. His love for his family, his patience, discretion, intelligence, and nobility of spirit, earned him the eternal gratitude of his children and grandchildren and the respect of his friends and associates. Besides being a paragon of hard work and industriousness, Howell loved good music, games, and relaxing in the out-of-doors. In earlier days he played football for the University of Utah. He loved to spend time working in his garden, was an avid hunter and fisherman and also spent many pleasurable hours working on family history research and other diverse hobbies. He rarely missed his regular tennis games at the Salt Lake Swimming and Tennis club, and continued to play enthusiastically until age 84.
On May 26, 1939, Howell married Ruth Bowman in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. He is survived by his wonderful wife of 63 years, six children: Constance (Don) Duncombe; Janet (David) Dunford; Ruth (Michael) Stevens; Mary (Ralph) Dewsnup; Stephen Cannon; Mark (Stephanie) Cannon; 23 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday April 27, 2002 at the Stratford Ward, 2605 South, 1500 East. Viewing will be Friday April 26 from 6-8 p.m. at the Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple and Saturday from 11:00-11:45 a.m. at the church. Interment, Salt Lake City Cemetery.
