“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die…”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

The direction of his plans changed when he met and married Michelle Love in 1974. This union was blessed with four daughters: Dana, Deana, Danelle and Denise. The marriage was dissolved in 1988. His heart was full of love again when he met and married the former Pat A. Ramsey in March 1990. Powell’s passion for family led them to blend their family to include Pat’s son and daughter, Sterling and DeShawn.
Powell accepted Christ as his personal Savior and served at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, during his youth. Christian Ministry was important to him and he continued to serve the Lord after High School graduation. He was a Deacon at New Jerusalem Baptist Church, employed by The Osborn Ministry and a volunteer in the media ministry at Faith Christian Fellowship.
