Doug Powell Obituary
Patrick Douglas Powell was born on May 1, 1964 in Minneapolis to Diane Johnson and Gary Powell. Doug grew up in Walnut Creek and Danville and lived in San Francisco for the past 23 years. He sadly passed away on November 4, 2021 after a tragic accident.
Doug was a loving and caring father, husband, son, brother, and friend to so many people. Doug was a drummer, a Deadhead, a diehard Giants, Warriors & 49ers fan, and a basketball player. He had a big personality and he was a friend to everyone he met. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten.
Doug leaves behind the loves of his life, his wife of 14 years, Brigid (Brennan) and his 12-year-old twin daughters, Micaela and Teagan.
He is survived by his mom Diane Johnson (his late step-father Don), his father Gary Powell (Stephanie), his sister Leanne Alexander (Brent), 6 nephews, 2 nieces, countless members of the Madden, Powell & Brennan families, and many, many friends, including too many to count from San Francisco & the Bay Area, Cal Poly SLO, and the Olympic Club.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice that honor's Doug's memory.
We will miss and love you always Doug.
Friends may call after 6pm at St. Philip the Apostle Church, Diamond & Elizabeth Sts. where the Vigil will be held Friday Nov. 12th at 7pm and the Funeral Mass on Saturday at 11am. Private Committal, Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Lafayette.
