John was such a kind and loving person to my grandson Jerome and myself. Always had a smile. Praying for you Louretta and the children that God will give you comfort during this time.

Sister Loretta and family - please know the Williams family is saddened by the passing of Brother Powell. I am so glad that we don’t sorrow as others sorrow with no hope as the scripture says. We are praying for you and your family.

Dear Lauretta and the entire family. My heart and hugs go out to you. Johnnie touched many lives in a positive way but nobody more than his wife. I know their love was as deep and sincere as a soul can be. How wonderful a life to celebrate! Love to you, Kate

Loretta I’m extending my deepest condolence to you and your children in the passing of Brother Powell. I can’t help but remember the times that Mo. Brazelton and I shared with you and Bro. Powell. You and the children will for ever be in my prayers. Love Mo. Bettis.

I grew up next four to Johnnie! He was always coming and going! He was always about business and God. He was very intelligent and had a sense of humor. He was always focused. He was always dressed up with his signature sideburns and pressed hair and don’t forget his hats! He was the stable one in the family always helping his mother Mae, who was like a 2nd mom to me and was also one of my mom’s best friends. Johnnie always preached the gospel not only with his words but with his character, love for family. His mom death was hard on everyone but Johnnie helped them all through it stepping up when other family didn’t! I wish I kept in touch! Heaven got a good man! Rest In Heaven Johnnie! Much love to you! I will be praying for your family!
