Donald Powell
February 16, 1940 — September 18, 2025
Donald Lewis Powell passed away on September 18, 2025, surrounded by his children.

Don was born on February 16, 1940, in Sweetwater, Texas, to W.R. "Jinks" Powell and Eleanor Philquist Powell. He graduated from Colorado High School in 1958 and went on to attend Texas Christian University, where he majored in Ranch Management and was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. In 1961, Don moved to Lubbock and continued his studies at Texas Tech University, where he remained an active member of Kappa Sigma and participated in the rodeo and meat judging teams.

In his younger years, Don carried on the family ranching legacy in Mitchell County alongside his grandfather and father. He later worked at Shannon Hospital in San Angelo for more than 20 years.

Don was best known for his calm and kind demeanor-and for his great golf swing. For as long as he was able, he could be found on the golf course nearly every day. He cherished time with his family and his golfing friends. Don was also a lifelong member of All Saints Episcopal Church in Colorado City.

He was preceded in death by his parents. Don is survived by his brother, George Powell and wife Rachel, of Colorado City, Texas; his four children, Dane Powell of Scurry County, Texas, Reed Powell and wife, Carla, of Snyder, Texas, Page Powell and Jim Akin of Midland, Texas, and Blis Freeman and husband, Chris, of Dallas, Texas; nine grandchildren, Brittany Powell, Kali Powell, Jordan Powell, Riley Price and husband, Tanner, Colton Powell, Kimberly Key and husband, Hayden, Lawson Freeman, Hadley Freeman, and Sutton Freeman; as well as several great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Don's children wish to express their deepest gratitude to his caregiver, Dora, and to the staff and nurses of Robert Lee Care Center and Gentiva Hospice for their exceptional care and compassion.

The family will hold a private memorial service in Mitchell County at a later date

Cathy will best be remembered for her generosity of caring for others. She especially loved caring for the elderly and those who had no one else except herself to care for them. She had a way of making you feel like you were her only priority. She lived in her own time zone and to her time didn’t matter.

One of Cathy’s favorite things to do was to dress up in her grinch costume and make everyone laugh and feel loved. Her great niece Kezia will NEVER forget about that Grinch costume. Cathy loved going thrifting “picking’’ with her daughter Nevaeh, and oh how she loved her some Willie Nelson!! She never missed a moment to hear him play in Luckenbach, Texas.

Cathy will be sadly missed by many friends and family. A private memorial with family will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that donations be made in honor of her to the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (AFSP) or the Epilepsy Foundation of America.

Though she is gone, her spirit will live on in each of our hearts. We will cherish the memories we have of her and keep her alive in our stories and in our love for her.

In his downtime, Harley expressed himself through his creativity. He enjoyed drawing, painting, and showcasing his artistic side. He also loved barbequing and spending quality time with his family, who will forever treasure the memories they created with him. Bubba will be deeply missed, but his spirit and love will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Bobby Henderson and James Morris; his grandmother, Charlene Morris; his brother, Bobby Henderson; and his cousin, Jason Ginkinger.

Harley’s life was a gift, and his memory will continue to inspire love, loyalty, and joy in everyone blessed to know him.
