Micheal John Powers

Michael was born on the 25th of March,1964 and departed this life on January 21, 2025.

Michael was predeceased by his father, Michael John Powers II, mother, Mary Jo Gnau,

sister, Amy Powers Schellenberg and nephew, Conner Schellenberg. He leaves behind

a beautiful family, consisting of his beloved wife of 25 years, Barbie Powers, son Nicholas

Powers, daughter Madison (Powers) Boszor, son-in-law Kyle Boszor, along with many

nieces and nephews.

Michael had a large appetite for life, and this was reflected in so many things. He was

an accomplished businessman, always working hard in multiple arenas but his family

and friends always came first, with his beautiful racehorses, football and Mr. B's New

Orleans's BBQ Shrimp coming in a close second.

He was a huge football fan, and loved to relax cheering on his favorite teams, including

the Texas Longhorns, Notre Dame, Southern Miss, and if compelled, the Texas Aggies

and the Oklahoma Sooners.

While he was a self-made businessman, he always made time for his kids, participating

in every way possible, as they grew up. When the family was not at a sporting event on

a Friday night, you could find him sitting on the driveway of their family home, with

music playing, waiting for friends, who were like family, to arrive. These gatherings

could go late into the evening, laughing, talking, watching kids play, and making lasting

memories.

Once Michael and Barbie were empty nesters, the next chapter in his life included

thoroughbred horses, a lot of golfing, weekend getaways and long road trips. His idea of

the perfect getaway was a long weekend with his family, playing golf, eating a nice

dinner together and maybe at the racetrack, watching one of his horses cross the finish

line.

Honoring his memory, we remember Michael as a loving, generous, and caring man but

his greatest accomplishment in life was raising his children, Nick and Maddy, always

alongside his beloved "Barbo".

Michael leaves behind a legacy of wisdom, kindness and generosity. He nurtured a

lifetime of friendships, and his memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of

everyone who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this

difficult time.

Michael, you will be missed!
