Charles Jackson Powell passed away and caught his last flight home on Saturday January 25, 2020 at 20:00 hours. He was born on October 5, 1934 in Fallon, Nevada, grew up in Indiana, and spent time living in Hawaii, Alaska and finally Colorado. Jack had two great passions in life: his family and aviation. When he wasn't watching the Broncos games with his family (or turning the game off depending on the score), he was riding horses with his daughter, playing football with his sons, or spending time with his grand children. Jack was also devoted to his career as a pilot and could name the plane passing over head just by the sight, smell or sound it made. His love for aviation was contagious and he inspired his children and grandchildren to follow the same passion. His quick wit and humor followed him through to the end and his love will be missed immensely.

Jack is preceded in death by his father Charles Powell, mother Mildred Powell, and sister Florence (Angelo) Landa. He is survived by his wife of 63 years Marilyn Yvonne Powell, 5 children Mike (Diana) Powell, Skip (Tamara) Powell, Michelle (Andy) Wallace, Brett (Joyce) Powell, and Shawn (Jaden) Powell, 15 grandchildren Stephanie Powell, Jared (Dana) Powell, Eric Powell, Tanner (Sandra D) Powell, Dane (Saskia) Wallace, Aubrey (Greg) Wallace, Payton Powell, Allie Powell, Kendal Powell, Dalton Powell, Samantha Powell, Braden Powell, Jack Powell, Conor Powell, Adriana Powell, and 2 great grandchildren Carter Houser and Kaelyn Houser.

A public memorial service will be held at 1:00pm on January 30, 2020 at St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church.
Reception following funeral at Shawn and Jaden's house:
6828 S. Riverwood Way
Aurora, CO 80016
