He retired from Coats and Clark, where he worked with dedication until his retirement in 1977. After retiring, Iverson continued to stay active in the community through his work at the House of Parts, where he was known for his warm smile and helpful nature.

A proud veteran of World War II, who served his country with honor, Iverson carried his sense of duty and integrity into every aspect of his life. He was a man of quiet strength, generosity, and unwavering character.

Iverson had a deep love for the outdoors—fishing was one of his greatest joys. He spent countless peaceful hours by the water, often sharing stories and laughter with family and friends. He also had a passion for racing, enjoying the thrill and camaraderie that came with it.

He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, love of family, and the simple pleasures he cherished most. His legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Mr. Powell was a member of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church where he served as a deacon for many years.
