Charles A. Powell

Charles A. Powell (aka “Chuck” or “Chaz”), age 73, passed away from natural causes on April 18, 2026.

Chuck was born in Elkhorn, WI on March 31, 1953 to Allen P. and Fannie L. (Peck) Powell. Chuck was a 1971 graduate of Elkhorn High School. Chuck was an avid “Cheesehead,” and Wisconsin Badger and Milwaukee Brewer fan. He was the kind of Dad that took the time to teach and not just tell. He was friendly and knew no stranger. He was witty, sentimental and ornery. He enjoyed playing pool, horseshoes, and spending time with his grandkids. He was very artistically talented – from being a painter, drawing elaborate chalk compasses on the driveway, to retiring as a Hydraulic Design Engineer.

Those left to carry on his orneriness are his three children; Shawn (Sally) Powell of Rockford, Alanna (Kyle) Dolinski of Kansas City, Zachery (Maddie) Powell of TX, eleven grandchildren; Cora, Kelby, Clara, Shire, Kennedy, Cyril, Everett, Daxton, Oliver, Lucy, and Lincoln, four great grandchildren; Paislee, Kori, Aria, and Eleanor, siblings Margo (Harold) Knaack, John (Sharon) Powell, and Jean (Richard) Lile, two former wives; Sandy and Diana, and many other extended family. He was preceded in death by his parents, and two brother-in-laws; Richard and Harold, and his beloved pets; Donna, Buster, Kringer, Brownie, and Shadow.
