It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of James Lee Powell "Lee", of Clewiston on Friday November 8, 2024, at the age of 59. He was born November 1, 1965, in Pahokee, FL. He was the beloved son of Edward and Janet Powell.
Lee, as he was affectionately known, was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended, but for the way it was lived, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Lee will be forever remembered by his wife of 39 years, Vickie; his children, Alex, and Jenna; his fur babies; and numerous other family members and friends. Lee had many interest but his love for dirt track racing trumped them all. If he wasn't at home with his family, he could be found at a race track.
Services will be held at Akin-Davis funeral home in Clewiston, FL, Friday November 22, 2024 from 5 - 7 pm.
