Obituary

Kevin Lee Powell, 52, passed away unexpectedly in a Boone county car accident on the afternoon of January 7, 2011. Services will be held at Stevens Memorial Chapel in Ames on Saturday, Jan. 15, with visitation from 12:00 p.m. until service time at 1:30 p.m. A celebration of Kevin's life will be held at the Tip Top Lounge with a potluck dinner at 3 p.m.

Kevin was born December 21, 1958 in Iowa Falls, the first child of William and Mary Louise (Northup) Powell. He graduated from Ottumwa High School in 1977 and completed a 2 year Radiology Tech course at Indian Hills Community College in 1985.

Kevin has lived in and around the Ames area for over 20 years and has worked at Mary Greeley for the past 22 years.

Kevin was a vibrant personality, who had a quick smile and always made others laugh. He loved hunting, fishing, camping, and lived life with an "anything goes" attitude. Recently, he went back to his "love to ride" and bought a 2000 Harley Sportster. Days off were spent on leisure rides, Poker runs, traveling/sightseeing, and some activities with the Patriot guard. Kevin would smile and exclaim, "Wow! What a ride".

He is preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his daughter, Cassie Powell, of Atlanta, GA; son, Kendall Powell , of Colo; sister, Lisa (Kevin) Hastings and their son, Crete, of Bloomfield; girlfriend, Karen Shepard, of Ogden; and numerous friends, fellow riders, and co-workers.

His cremated remains will be inurned at Floris Cemetery, Bloomfield, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations.
