Jimmy Powell Obituary
Mr. Powell was born the son of Jay Iva Lee Powell and Lillian Odene Owens Powell on November 16, 1955 in Florence. He was born the sixth of six children, Ervin, Charles, Danny, Travis, and Kathy. He loved being around people and his laughter was contagious and brought a smile to those whose path he crossed. He enjoyed riding his moped, cookouts and family gatherings. His greatest enjoyment was spending time with his nephew, Ervin "Bubba" Powell, Jr.; and his constant companion and fur baby, Bandit.
He is survived by: his siblings, Danny Earl Powell and Miriam Kathy P. Hammac; two sister-in-laws, Inez Powell and Becky Powell; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by: his parents; three brothers, Ervin Lee Powell, Charles Laverne Powell, and Lawrence Travis Powell; and a brother-in-law, John Hammac.
