So sorry to hear of the passing of Marion—-I can remember all of the times that was spent at the Powell’s house when we were young in Denver City. John and I we friends, but Marion was always around. Prayers for the family. Larry Rasco
I am so saddened by Marion’s passing. The best friend we could ever had. Marion had so many friends — a friend to all. He was such a likable man. He was kind, humorous and always willing to lift a hand to help his friends and neighbors. My two girls remember him so well since Marion and Sue would come to our house often. He was one of my family’s best friends in the late 70s and early 80s. I pray that God will give the children and relatives comfort in this time. Rest in peace Marion.
Sad we will not be able to attend due to the distance. We were so blessed to have known Marion! He was such a kind and funny person and fit so well at our dance studio. Everyone just loved him and we will miss his smiling face! It’s so great reading all these great memories of him. Prayers to his son & daughter and their families!
So glad to have had the pleasure of meeting Marion. Praying for Kathy, Ezra, and all the Powell family, as you mourn.
Marion’s passing has really saddened me. Just know you are all in my prayers and thoughts as you face these days in front of you. Thank you for sharing the video.
