Richard Powell Obituary

Joanie and Little AP
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Dick. He was such a beautiful man and I will forever remember him for his infectious smile and gentle spirit .

Dick was the AD at Coronado H.S. when I started my teaching career at Coronado H.S. I appreciated how Dick always put the student/athletes first and strived to do what was best for them. His sons were among my favorites during my tenure at Coronado. My condolences go out to the three of them, Rick, Gary, and Randy, along with his wife, Joan. May it be comforting to you to know Dick was a great person who was well respected.

It was always a pleasure to be around Dick. He’s smile was something I will always remember as well as his kindness to all he knew. I am sorry for your loss Joan and family. We was one in a million.

Joan and family:
Thoughts and prayers are with you. Dick was a special human that had a positive influence on so many, including myself. Glen and Kathy

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was a student at Coronado High School when I knew both Mr. and Mrs Powell. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs.

Randy and Lori, so sorry for your loss!

I knew of Dick because my own father was part of the opening faculty of both Mitchell and Coronado High School. I also had the privilege of being daughter Ashley's 8th grade math teacher. In later years, I would see him as we shared workout time at the YMCA and as my wife and I left the Sunday service at First Presbyterian Church. He always kept me posted about Ashley and did so with great pride. Most significant in my memory of Dick will always be the way in which he would make others in his life feel important to him. My wife and I now live in the Denver area. We still attend First Pres online, but I will always remember those visits with Dick as we would leave church. Imagine if we could all treat an acquaintance as Dick did.

I’m so sorry for your entire family’s loss. My dad worked with Dick and Joan at Coronado and always had so much respect and admiration for them. Dick was a true icon in both the Coronado and education communities.

I knew Dick in several different roles over the course of his career. Dick was what we call a: straight shooter, He called each different situation as he saw it. He will be missed by many. Joan and Ashley are also strong individuals. I considered him a valued friend and mentor.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Joan and Family - Saddened to read of your loss. Dick was one of my favorites. Always enjoyed officiating a game while he was coaching. Also found pleasure just visiting with him off the court. He was always helpful when our paths crossed professionally. He was a gentle gentleman - that is the best way for me to describe him.

We send our deepest condolences. Dick was truly one of the warmest, most genuine people I have known. I feel so privileged to have known him. He impacted so many people and will be missed but remembered with a smile

My prayers and thoughts are with your family❤

I’m so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. May you all find comfort in the great memories you shared with him. He has left a legacy that you all can be proud. May he Rest In Peace and know he’ll be watching over you. God bless!
