US ARMY VETERAN
The family of Mr. Howard Peak, IV, a US Army Veteran, requests the presence and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard at the services and LEO supported procession, and graveside rendering of military honors of their loved one. We are honored to accept this invitation.
Howard W. Peak, IV. passed away Saturday, November 30, 2024, at the age of 75, surrounded by friends and family.
Howard was born December 31, 1948, in Tokyo, Japan to Major Howard and Virginia Peak. To ensure he was born a Texan, his father had Texas soil sent to Japan and placed under the bed so there would be no doubt. The family returned to Texas after several years and settled in San Antonio. Howard graduated from Alamo Heights High School, The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in History, and the University of Texas at San Antonio with a Masters of Arts in Urban Studies-Environmental Management.
Before entering politics, Howard had a distinguished professional career. He served in the U.S. Army, became a City Planner with the City of San Antonio, worked for Tom Turner to help develop the Sonterra area, had a consulting business and taught at Trinity University in the Urban Administration Graduate program.
Howard decided he wanted to make a difference in San Antonio and entered politics. From 1993, to 2001, he served as Councilman and Mayor. He saw the need for a planned approach to growth which led to a major revision of the Uniform Development Code. Howard felt the passing of the updated code was one of his biggest accomplishments.
