Perry David Powell, age 69, passed away February 12, 2025, at Caromont Regional Medical Center. David was born February 8, 1956, in Lincoln County, to the late Perry “Earl” and Betty Taylor Powell.
David had an entrepreneurial spirit. Years ago, he worked alongside his brother, Jim, to successfully operate a local supermarket. He had a keen attention to detail, always ensuring labels were faced forward and products looked presentable. David also had a passion for flea markets. He found joy in the little treasures that many overlooked. David loved the Lord and enjoyed listening to the Word and attending church.
In addition to his parents, David was preceded in death by his brother, Larry Powell; and sister-in-law, Mary Wood Powell.
Survivors include his siblings, Jimmy Powell, Deborah Powell Parker, Jerry Powell, Toney Powell, Johnny Powell, and Earlene “Lenee” Powell; son, Samuel Powell (Candice); and numerous nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.
