Randy Wayne Powers, age 69, of Winchester, Tennessee, passed away on November 12, 2026, at Highpoint Health. He was born on February 8, 1957, in Winchester to the late Buddy and Elaine (Hill) Powers.
Randy served his country in the United States Marine Corps and retired from Russell Barnett Dodge in Winchester after more than 20 years of service. He was a strong, good-hearted man who would help anyone in need. He enjoyed watching NASCAR, fishing, and tinkering with antiques—although some might have called them junk. He also enjoyed watching westerns, Blue Bloods, and his favorite show, Criminal Minds.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Charlotte Cope Powers; sons, Randy “Tooter” Powers Jr. and Charles Tant; and brother, Rocky Powers.
He is survived by his spouse, Kim Cantrell; daughter, Tracy Davis; son, John Tant; stepdaughters, Angie (Greg) McBee, Brooke (Gabe) Cagle, and Cyndi (Steve) Harris; brother, Benny Powers; sister-in-law, Wendy Powers; and brother-in-law, Chris Cantrell. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Roy (Jessica Hopkins) Davis Coleman, Ethan Curtis Davis, Allie (Remus) Grey, Rebecca (Samuel) Penny, Leslie McBee, Clayton Tant, Allyssa Davis, Alexis Davis, Bransen Henderson, and Ryker Harris; great-grandchildren, Journie Davis, Jaxson Davis, Neeley Ridley, and Jovi Penny; nephew, Joshua Hampton; nieces, Tiffany Powers and Brittany Powers; and great-nieces and great-nephews. He will also be missed by his close friends, Troy and Paulette Reavis, and his beloved fur babies, Archie and Gemini.
