I'm so sorry for your loss lots of prayers and hugs sent your way

—Windy Powell

I am still in disbelief! You were always one tough cookie. We had some great times. Greater still, is that I got to meet your family as a part of our friendship, and I cherish those moments. My prayers for your immediate family; Steve, Marcella, Sherry,and Chelsea and to your wife Jackie and the wonderful family you shared with her. These are difficult times but these folks also knew your heart and your convictions, that may perhaps, ease the pain. Until we meet again my friend, Love always!

I have known this family and been a part of it for 40 years and he was like a brother that I never had. He was always giving me and Sherry a hard time, lol but it was all in fun and love. He would always take up for us or anyone else that he knew needed him. He loved his family so much and I am just still in shock. I know he is in a better place and that the Lord always keeps his promises. I love ya'll so very much!!!
