Michael Brent Powell

Michael Brent Powell, 37, quietly passed away on January 30, 2021 in Spring, Texas. Michael was stricken with COVID shortly after the holidays and spent 3 weeks fighting it in the ICU at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. An amazing son, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, grandson, and friend. We are all devastated.

Michael leaves behind devastated family and friends. He was the oldest son of Lori Ackermann Powell and the late Michael Lee Powell. Beloved by his brother, Steven Powell, wife Jeannie Hewitt Powell, God daughter/ Niece Loren and niece Raelee. His Gigi, Ellen T. Ackermann, and Grandpa, the late Francis A. Ackermann. His Grandmother Nancy Powell and Papa, the late Roland R. Powell. His many Aunts and Uncles: Pattie Ackermann, Leda Krolczyk, Judy Ackermann and husband Troy Fischer, Brad and wife Roseanne Ackermann, Barbara Ackermann, Deanna and husband Randall Hughes, Monti and husband James (Bo) Hughes. Cousins Brian Smith, Kassandra (Kasey) and husband Michael Owens and their daughters Abigail, Josephine and Amelia; John Randall Hughes, Brandon James (BJ) and wife Madison Hughes, and Justin Hughes. Michael’s cousins will honor him as Pallbearers as ‘The Pit Crew’, Brian Smith is also an honorary member.

Michael grew up in the Bear Creek area and attended Bear Creek Elementary, Mayde Creek Middle and Mayde Creek High Schools. He received a scholarship to University of Houston and graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Communications. His hobby was writing screen plays and had dreams of writing / producing / filming his original work. When Michael was in the first grade, Lori enrolled him into Scouts where he ultimately achieved all ranks from Tiger to Eagle. Michael also served in the Order of the Arrow where he provided cheerful service in the Houston Community. The Scout Oath and Law continued to be his compass in working with others. He was generous with his time and resources, doing a Good Turn Daily and Random Acts of Kindness were second nature to him.

Michael had one of the funniest senses of dry humor and kept his family and friends entertained at all gatherings. He was articulate and well read and could hold his own on his side of any debate.

He was a wonderful and unique individual and will be missed by many. His life was full of family and friends, always thinking of others and will be sorely missed. Godspeed Michael.
