WILLIAM CLAYTON POWERS, III, age 35, suddenly passed away at his home on

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, William C. Powers, Sr.

Will, also known as “Big Will” or “Big Dog”, to friends, was born on Mother’s 
Day May 8, 1977 in Portsmouth Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, VA. 
He made his longest trip from Norfolk, VA to Gretna, LA when his father retired 
from the Navy, after 20 years, on November 16, 1979 in the folded down back of 
a 1993 Rambler Station Wagon. 
He attained the rank of Webelos in the Boy Scouts and earned a black belt in

He attended John Ehret High School in Marrero, LA. 
For years, Will worked construction; as groundskeeper at the Zoo; stocker for 
Wal-Mart in Slidell, LA; driver for Buck’s Pizza in Pearl River, LA; as cook at 
The Landing in Slidell, LA; and was currently Shift Manager/Driver for Pizza 
Hut in Pearl River, LA. 
Will was very easy going, hard to rile and like to joke around. He loved 
animals and passed two beautiful cats to his mother. 
He was an avid collector; all things Saints and Notre Dame; model cars and had 
over 3000 DVD’s. He was also a Saints Season Ticket Owner. 
He and his father had planned a “Football Day” on January 7, 2013 when Notre 
Dame plays Alabama. 
Will was so proud of his new Dodge Truck and had planned his first trip to 
Disney World next summer. 
He will be greatly missed by family and friends.
