Dear Powers Family. I'm shocked and saddened to read about Jimmy's passing. I have such fond memories of Mike's older brother. Jimmy was one of the few "cool" older brothers at Cure. Wishing you all peace and strength during this difficult time.

I am so saddened to hear the loss of such a great man, Jimmy. Although it has been many years since I have seen Jimmy, I always remember him with a smile on his face and a kayak on the top of his car. I always remember the Powers being such a tight niche family, and remember fond days of Grade school and high school. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Losing a brother and a son at such a young age is truly a difficult thing to get through. God bless you all.
