Leonard Howard Geren, Jr., 74, of Anderson, SC, passed away, Sunday, December 20, 2020, at Rainey Hospice House. Born December 6, 1946, in Charleston, SC, he was the son of the late Leonard Howard Geren and Helen Brown Daniels. Howard, as he was known by friends and family, was a hard worker, avid gardener, sports enthusiast, and person of faith. He was a businessman for most of his adult life, primarily working in jewelry sales and finance and was a member of the Rotary Club. Howard loved gardening but only tolerated mowing the lawn, even if it meant he did so in his shirt and tie. He especially enjoyed cheering on the Clemson Tigers, South Carolina Gamecocks, and Atlanta Braves. Howard's Baptist faith guided him throughout his life. He is survived by his son, Shawn Geren and his wife, Mary, of Anderson, SC; step-daughter, Jaime Macke of Anderson, SC; brothers, Charlie Geren of Atlanta, GA and Tommy Geren and his wife, Wanda, of Tamassee, SC; and grandchildren, Kenan Geren of Charleston, SC and Madilyn Geren of Anderson, SC. In addition to his parents, Howard is predeceased by his sister, Patricia Geren Eikhoff. Due to Covid-19, the family will have a private funeral service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Meals on Wheels of Anderson SC: 105 S. Fant Street, Anderson, SC 29624.
