Celebrating the life of
Jeffrey Lee Powell
October 10, 1959 - January 27, 2026
Jeffrey L. Powell, 66, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 27th surrounded by his loving family.
Jeff was born in Savannah, GA to Uly Powell of Sylvania, Ga. and Mary F. Powell of Sardis, Ga. He proudly served in the United States Navy for six years. He worked as a Maintenance Supervisor until his retirement in 2023. He was a loving father with a heart of compassion and a love for missions. He traveled to Honduras many times, focusing on construction needs, including building a house for a family with medical needs. He also assisted in many ways with a medical clinic, spent time with the boys in an orphanage, providing food and meeting needs of the staff, and delivered sermons and Bible studies in the local churches. Other missions included Russia, Romania, and China. He was often seen on the water, relaxing and enjoying many fishing adventures with his brother John, other family members and friends. His love for Jesus was evident in all of his life, but especially in these areas of service. He was a member of First Baptist Church of the Islands.
Preceding him in death are his parents, two brothers and his firstborn grandson Landon Denmark. In addition to his wife Angela, Jeff leaves behind his son Daniel (Katie) of Savannah; Summer (Tim) of Savannah; and Winter (Dan) of Richmond Hill. His grandchildren are Alex Seidensticker, Pierce Powell, John Seidensticker, Cutter Powell, Wyatt Denmark, Lincoln Denmark, Carley Fass, Max Fass, Levi Denmark, and Macy Fass, a sister and two brothers; numerous nieces and nephews.

I was so sorry to hear that Jeff had passed away. He was a good friend and mentor to me. He was with me and others on a mission trip to Ethiopia. I had the privilege to know him and his family.. I have fond memories of him, his kids, and the grandsons that were in RA's. He will be missed by all those who were blessed to know him.

Jeff was an incredible man with a quick smile. He always had a pot of coffee on! Larry has many stories of the two of them on RA camping trips and mission trips. Our prayers are with all of you as you navigate life without him.

It is with heartfelt sincerity that my sister Holly and I send blessings and condolences to Angela and the Powell family. The Petrea family had the good fortune to grow up right behind the Powell family. I was blessed again by working with Angela at Georgia Regional Hospital. Unfortunately, due to extreme illness in my family, I am unable to make it to Jeff's memorial service. However, It is clear that Jeff was a good man and a man after God's own heart. I am sure that a thousand angels welcomed him into heaven. Again many blessings to my friend Angela and Jimmy and the Powell family. Ricky, Holly and the Petrea family.
