Howard was born June 14, 1934 at the family ranch in Mansfield, Washington to Roy and Ida (Gallaher) Asmussen. He was the youngest of 4 children. He was a 12-year senior of Mansfield high school, graduating in 1952. Active in sports, he graduated with a full ride scholarship to Texas A&M to play football. As life often does, plans changed with the loss of his father and brother in a plane crash, the same year, and he took over the family ranch to build it to a successful multi-generational ranch. On November 15, 1953 he married the love of his life Marilyn Lee Schneider, in Omak, Washington. They started their life at the family ranch in Mansfield, Washington. They welcomed three children to their lives; Jeanette, Lana and Arnold. Over the years, Howard had many business ventures, from driving a truck to make ends meet to many successful ranches throughout the Pacific Northwest. One of his business ventures included building a Convenience Store and Restaurant with Marilyn and Arnold. Later a Hotel would be built that was the dream of his late son Arnold. In all his business enterprises, Howard was known as a man of his word. Howard appreciated a hard day’s work from himself and those around him. He was the first one up in the morning and the last to go to bed. You could find him first thing in the morning in his office conducting business. He would ride or work cattle all day and then in the evenings he would attend meetings necessary to champion the cattle industry. Howard was a respected and discerning cattleman, and he produced some of the finest quality Black Angus cattle in the West. He prided himself in his annual Bull Sale where people would come from all over to be entertained and purchase high quality breeding stock. As much as Howard appreciated cattle, he had a love for horses that stemmed from a young age. As a child he would play with his ponies teaching them tricks and spending hours riding them up and down the hill behind the house. Howard and Marilyn both had a love for racehorses and they ran horses all over the northwest. Their horses were forces to be reckoned with from the county fair tracks in Ferry, Okanogan and Douglas counties, to larger tacks like Playfair, Yakima Meadows, The Interior British Columbia Circuit and Longacres. Never one to let moss grow under his feet, Howard traveled all over the world. In the beginning it was to keep the business growing. In his later years he traveled for fun and leisure always in his own Howard style. Howard is survived by daughter Jeanette (Skip) Palmer of Pateros, daughter-in-Law Judy Asmussen-Brown of Bridgeport, grandsons, Ryan Palmer of Bellingham, Levi (Christy) Asmussen at the family ranch in Mansfield, J.J.
