There are so many of those left to celebrate his life. Anthony loved his beloved wife, Sharon Powell, with every fiber of his being. Anthony loved his son Ryan Powell, he called him his beautiful boy. Anthony always had a twinkle in his eyes when he talked about his sister Billie Lavon Martin. Oh, how his love for her was as big as the Kentucky River. Anthony had a special love for his little girl, Jessica Powell. He taught her to be loving. and strong as he was in life. Anthony's life was full of trials, happiness, sadness, love, and compassion, his life was like reading a story of times gone by like in the western movies he so loved to watch. Anthony was a U.S. Army Veteran who served with pride and strength. He always looked out for those he cared for and watched over those he loved. Anthony could talk up a storm and care for others so easily. "Love Bug" as Sharon would lovingly call him you will be sorely missed and loved by all in life.
