David Powers Obituary

Powers, David Dave, age 60 suddenly passed away in the early evening of Tuesday November 7, 2017. David, a proud Orlando native, was President of United Legacy bank, his fifth Community Bank endeavor in Orlando as well as an extraordinary man who spent his lifetime in service to others through Catholic Education; most notably Bishop Moore Catholic High School, his alma mater. He will forever remain in the hearts of all those he touched along the way, and his humble spirit will always shine in the hallways where he once walked. David is survived by his wife Aida, his children, Amanda, Allison, Angela, and David II; stepchildren, Destiny and Antonio Ellenwood; granddaughter, Alyssa; parents Gene and Judith Powers; sister Angela (Bob) Ward and their six children. The family will be receiving friends on Monday, November 13, 2017 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and a Mass of Celebration will take place on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 at 10:00 am, located at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church, 869 Maitland Avenue, Altamonte Springs, FL 32701.

I had the chance to meet him when our daughters were playing basketball and band at Bishop Moore High School.

One of the kindest men I ever met. He would always be there for Amanda's practices. My daughter is Dana Bellacicco.

I was shocked when I knew of his passing, but he was a good person who was always committed to his family. Gone way too soon. Prayers always to such a beautiful family.

To the family of Dave Powers. I am deeply saddened for your loss. A son, father, husband and friend. I had the pleasure of working with Dave at ComBank and M & I Bank. A truly great man taken too soon. He will be missed in so many ways by so many people. I'm so sorry for your loss. I never had a chance to meet Aida, but I do know, he never seemed happier. Prayers to all of the Powers family.

When we were young and working together at Combanks, loosing one of our children was unthinkable. May God guide you through this time of unimaginable sorrow. Our prayers are with you during this time of grief.

To Gene and Judy Powers.

As I think back to our early days at Combanks when our children were young it would have been in thinkable of losing one of them. May God guide you through this time of unimaginable sorrow. We are so Sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Our prayers are with you in this time of grief.

Character, Intelligence, Humility, Generosity, Wit, attributes that come to mind instantly and qualities that we should all practice. David was a real "role model". From my distance, his life's resume seemed complete, a life well lived, he deserved and quick and painless passing, even if to soon. For his loved one's I pray for your peace and acceptance. And faith in God's will.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Always remember the words of the bible in 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17. God assures you he will always be there to comfort you, and he will protect your heart and give you the strength you need to continue. May you find peace and comfort.

I'm writing to offer our Condolences to the entire Powers Family. I'm the father to Dana Bellacicco who she played Basketball with and were both in the Band with Amanda Powers at Bishop Moore High school.I would never forget how he used to show up to every one of Amanda's game. I used to think what an awesome Dad who I know had a pretty hectic work schedule,family life with 4 children, but would never miss a game.

We would even talk on occasion, I used to think what a genuinely nice person.He was always very involved in the Band and contributed so much to Bishop Moore.

I would say Mr David Powers was a pretty great person and Special Dad who will be greatly missed. It was great to have met such a wonderful person.
