This past week, our beloved Father and Friend went to claim his place at the Lord's table. His full life began on October 20 in 1943, born to Sanford Leroy Powell and Alice Hood Powell of Tallahatchie County in Mississippi, where he graduated from West Tallahatchie High School and continued his education at Northwest Mississippi Junior College in Senatobia. He began a career with Mississippi Power and Light before becoming an independent electrical contractor. His talented mind led him to a deep interest in aviation, history, and all things mechanical which earned him a reputation as a mechanical genius. He could construct or repair nearly anything with his remarkable ability to perceive on sight. His huge heart held great love for his family and many friends who are feeling the enormous pain of his absence.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service.  Interment will follow in the Woodlawn Memorial Park.  Family and friends will gather from 12:00 noon until service time Wednesday at McKibben and Guinn.

He is survived by two daughters, Ashley Powell Golding(Jason) and Amber Powell Dale, both of Grenada and a brother, Sanford Leroy Powell II of Senatobia. He was also blessed with four grandchildren, Landon and Emily Tillman and Will and Lincoln Dale as well as his many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Will, and three siblings, Harry Powell of Philipp and Kenneth Powell and Bonnie Powell Goldman of Winona.
