Charles was owner and operator of Powell Construction Company where he and his wife Linda worked together as a team for 28 years.  Charles enjoyed work, family gatherings, traveling, history, reading, hunting, fishing, watching the Tennessee Vols and most importantly spending time with his Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  Charles loved Jesus and was a devoted husband, beloved dad and granddad.  He gave love and compassion to all he knew and received it as well.  True definition of a gentle man.  One day not too far out, those who share in his faith in the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ, will join him in Heaven.  Until then, his family and friends will stand strong in the Lord!
