Gary Powell Obituary

**Obituary: Gary Lawn Powell**

Gary Lawn Powell, born on April 28, 1966, in Norfolk, Virginia, passed away peacefully in his hometown on December 8, 2025, at the age of 59.

A dedicated and diligent worker, Gary was employed as an associate with Walmart for over ten years, where he was known for his reliability and commitment to his colleagues and customers alike. Beyond his work, Gary had a deep love for animals, particularly cats, which brought him great joy throughout his life.

Gary attended Tidewater Community College, enriching his life with knowledge and skills that he carried forward into his career and personal life. Though he often preferred solitude, those fortunate enough to call him a friend knew the depth of his loyalty and kindness. He cherished these friendships deeply, appreciating the connection and support they provided.

Preceded in death by his beloved parents, Robert and Loella Powell, Gary is survived by his brothers, David and Michael, and leaves behind his adored niece, Jessie, and grand-niece, Olivia Jane, who will hold his memory dear.

Gary will be remembered as a kind-hearted and gentle soul with a passion for the simple and meaningful joys in life. His quiet presence will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
