RICHARD WAYNE POWELL


Richard Wayne Powell, 64, of Keller, TX passed away on Friday, April 13, 
2017. He was born December 31, 1952 to James and Myrtle Casey Powell in 
Shreveport, LA. Richard was a graduate of NLU in 1975 and a member of the 
Acacia fraternity. His career in the insurance industry afforded him the 
ability to cultivate many life- long friendships. He had a passion for 
sports and loved coaching Ryan in his youth and cherished the time he had 
watching his grandsons play as well. Richard's life was based on his strong 
faith in Jesus Christ, his love for his family and friends and volunteering 
to help those in need. Even in the midst of declining health he was 
determined to share his testimony. Richard was a member of Whites Chapel 
United Methodist Church in Southlake, TX and prior to moving to the DFW 
area, was a member of First United Methodist in Monroe, LA. He was a member 
of the Gideon's International Association and was actively involved in 
handing out free Bibles to schools.

sister Jane Lane; brother Don Powell.

whom he loved.
