Edward Michael

Powers

Edward Michael Powers, a man of deep faith and strong family who followed Jesus, passed away on the evening of October 6th, 2025. He has gone to spend eternity with his beloved wife of 52 years, Larri Powers, who left this life on November 30th, 2022. His legacy continues with his two sons, Edward and Matthew, and their families, which include seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Michael was a man of strength and honor. He served one tour in Vietnam as a Machinist's Mate in the Navy, and then worked as a Correctional Sergeant for over 30 years with the California Department of Corrections. The epitome of the quiet professional, a natural leader, Michael was respected by all who knew him. A man of few words and great wisdom, he will be missed.

Michael's & Larri's ashes will be released into the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Chetco River this Winter.
