A Christan and member of Liberty Baptist Church, Mr. Kevin blossomed in everything he did. He was very smart, even at a young age, always having A’s and B’s on his report card. With the ability to do anything, Mr. Kevin’s favorite pastimes included being outdoors, while wood working, hunting, or in a boat fishing, using the green thumb, he was blessed with to grow an immaculate garden every year, and grilling and cooking, especially his families secret famous cornbread. From the tricks he would pull and the jokes he would tell, to always offering a helping hand or sharing what he had with others, Mr. Kevin was a true friend, whose outgoing personality, friendly smile, and big heart will truly be missed by all those who knew and loved him.
Those left to cherish his memories include four brothers, Johnny Powell (Nancy), Charles Powell (Ann), Mark Powell (Lousie), and David Bratton (Paula), four nephews, Neal, Brian, Jason, and James Powell, and a large host of friends.
