Larry Don Powers

Larry Don Powers, 79, departed this life on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, in his hometown of Paragould. Born on November 25, 1946, Larry exemplified the spirit of hard work and dedication throughout his life, having spent over three decades as a skilled carpenter and contractor. His contributions to the construction industry are remembered through the many homes he built, leaving a legacy of craftsmanship that will endure in the hearts of those who lived in them.

Larry served a short time in the U.S. Army, reflecting his commitment to his country that was a cherished part of his identity. He was of the Church of Christ faith, and Larry approached life with the simple joys rather than strict practices.

When he wasn't engaged in the art of building, Larry found solace in watching television, where he could immerse himself in his favorite shows and unwind after a day's work.

He is survived by his beloved son, Don Powers; his sister, Shirlette (James) Dean; step-son, Wade Boyd; Wade's mother, Monica; and grandchildren, Evan, Blake, Destiny, and Ivy Jo, who will remember him as a caring family member and a steadfast presence in their lives. He was preceded in death by his parents, Willam A.C. and Anna Bernice Powers; brother, Gary Powers; and an infant son.

In accordance with his wishes, Larry will be cremated. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, and he will be deeply missed by all.

May he rest in peace.
