Wonderful daughter, mother, nana, sister, aunt; kind and compassionate friend to all.  "Shy Di" enjoyed camping with her grandkids and riding the open road on her Harley.  We know she's now "riding wild horses and dancing with the angels".  Soar slowly, my darling.

He was more than a father, brother or husband, he was someone everyone wanted to be around, he brought light into a room with his smile & his sparkly blue eyes.  He was passionate, adventurous, loving and kind.  He was my first love, the man who changed my life forever, the man I miss so much and will never forget...thank you for being my daddy & teaching me all of the things you taught me while you were here. 
 
Always & Forever,
Your little girl. 


Edward Michael Powers Sr.

Picture
7/28/64 - 1/14/11
Cape Coral, FL

46 years old

Ed was an amazing husband and father of two. He earned his BA in Accounting at SUNY Binghamton then went on to become a successful stock broker. Ed was known as "the King of Wall Street" by many of his peers. He enjoyed life, loved unconditionally and was there for whoever needed him.  He had an infectious smile and the most amazing blue eyes that always lit up a room, when he entered you knew Eddie Powers was there.  Ed loved us more than life itself. Everything he did was for us. He was a great friend and touched the life of every person he met. I can't begin to describe the pain, sorrow and emptiness in our hearts and I long for the day we are together again.

Until that day, R.I.P. my love
