Jon Randall Howard, age 77 of Purvis, MS, passed away in his sleep on Nov. 21, 2025, after a lengthy illness. Jon Howard dedicated his life to law enforcement and public service. He was a current Sergeant with the Forrest County Sheriff’s Office, former Chief of the Purvis Police Department and a retired Captain of the Mississippi Highway Patrol. His decades of service reflect his unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of his community.
Sheriff Charlie Sims "We were saddened to hear of Jon's passing this morning and offer our heartfelt condolences to Jon's family and friends and pray for God's comfort over them. Jon Howard was the embodiment of a true southern gentleman. The way he carried himself with dignity, humility, and respect for others was appreciated by all of us that worked with him. Those who knew him will remember not only his distinguished law enforcement career, but also his gentle spirit and genuine concern for his community. Rest well brother, we'll hold the line from here."

Arrangements and further details will be released by the family.
