William Wesley Powell

Bill devoted 36 years to Sea Ray as a product development engineer—work he genuinely loved and approached with steady diligence and pride. Through a long career marked by commitment and skill, he earned the respect of those who knew him as someone who could be counted on to see things through.

Bill was a member of Cross Bridge Church of the Nazarene in Rockledge, FL. His faith and the community he found there were meaningful parts of his life.

Known for many talents, Bill could fix anything and was quick to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His generosity and kind-hearted nature were evident not in grand gestures, but in the dependable ways he showed up for others—quietly, consistently, and with care.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents Thomas Wesley Powell and Marjorie Lorraine Covert. He is survived by his wife Anna Powell; his children Thomas Powell, Russel King and Sean Beauchemin; his grandson Colin Powell; his brother Tim Powell; and his sisters Nancy Rom and Debbie Womack; his mother-in-law Christa Stevens; Robin and Jimmy Kolb; and Danny and Laurie Whiting.
