Howard Lynn Searby

Howard Lynn Searby, 76, of Hereford, Arizona, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 13, 2017, following a lengthy battle with cancer. A resident of Sierra Vista, Howard spent his later years learning the art of Tai Chi, in which he enjoyed ever so passionately. He spent many, countless nights in meditation and learning the art and focus on the inner-core and energy.
