Lawrence Felix Powell, Jr., 58, of Orange, Texas, passed away on Wednesday, September 21, 2016, in Beaumont, Texas.  Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Dorman Funeral Home.

Larry was born on Monday, March 31, 1958 to Dorothy Dean (Christmas) and Lawrence Felix Powell, Sr., in Sumpter, South Carolina.  At a young age, Larry moved with his family to the Southeast Texas area where he remained throughout his life. When Larry wasn’t traveling with his job as a Truck Driver, he enjoyed being home and spending time with his loving wife of 4 years, Catherine, and his family.  Larry loved to fish, watch drag racing, and tend to his vegetable garden, where he grew lots of greens.  He was described by his family as the ‘BBQ King’, who had a genuine talent for smoking the best brisket.

He is preceded in death by his sister, Loretta Powell.

Those left to cherish Larry’s memory are his wife, Catherine Powell; his daughters, Ashley Powell, Kaylei Powell, and Sheena Morris; his sons, Raymond Powell, Tony Powell, Ben Powell, Cody Powell, Jamey Powell, Lindsey Powell, and Michael Currie; his brothers, Williams Powell, Michael Powell, Sr., and Charles Powell; his sister, Sharon Powell; his grandchildren, Kolbie Powell, Raven Newcomb, Brianne Newcomb, Seybri Powell, Errikvaughnryan Powell, Sebastian Powell, Keylee Powell, and Ashlyn Powell; and many members of his extended family and friends who will love, and miss him dearly.
