In Loving Memory
Dr. Howard Fitzpatrick Jones
March 17, 1978 – March 30, 2026
Vice Chair & Secretary, Healing Arts Institute
Forever a Part of Our Healing Arts Family
Dr. Howard Fitzpatrick Jones, affectionately known as “Hojo,” was more than a valued member of the Healing Arts Institute Board of Directors. He was a man of faith, a devoted husband and father, a dedicated educator, mentor, leader, and friend whose life was rooted in service, compassion, and love.
For more than 24 years, Dr. Jones dedicated his life to education, serving within the Broward County School system and later as a professor at Florida Atlantic University. His influence reached far beyond the classroom. He believed in the potential of others, encouraged young people to pursue their purpose, and led with patience, wisdom, authenticity, and an unwavering commitment to helping others succeed.
That same spirit of service defined his leadership at Healing Arts Institute. As our Vice Chair & Secretary, Dr. Jones generously shared his knowledge, time, and heart with our organization. His presence strengthened our Board, and his commitment to service reflected the very principles upon which Healing Arts was built.
Dr. Jones was also a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, carrying its principles of scholarship, leadership, service, and brotherhood throughout his life.
Above all, Howard loved his family. His devotion to his wife, children, and loved ones was evident in everything he did. He showed us that true leadership is not measured simply by titles or accomplishments, but by how we love, how we serve, and what we leave in the hearts of others.
Although Dr. Jones is no longer physically seated with us at the table, his place in the Healing Arts family remains. His wisdom, laughter, leadership, and compassionate spirit will continue to influence our work and remind us of the importance of serving others with purpose and love.
In his memory, we carry forward the words that so beautifully reflected the way he lived:
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
Forever Loved. Forever Remembered. Forever Our Board Member.
