"Mike" Eugene Michael Powers was born on February 16, 1957, at Des Moines, IA to Gene and Lois Ann (Steen) Powers. He served in the United States Army for a short time and worked at Pittsburg Steel, Per Mar Security and Walmart. Mike enjoyed martial arts, drawing, and reading and studying his Bible. He made it to the Greenbelt with Kim's Academy. A funny story is the lady from Home Depot asked him what he was building because he kept buying wood, but he just like to karate chop it, pretty much made firewood. Mike is survived by his siblings, Bert and Kandy Powers, Evonne Brown, Debbie and Randy Hoyt, Sharon and Ed Streeter, Desiree and David Burrows, Ronald and Missy Griffey, and Rhonda and Mike Schuling, his stepdad, Ronald Griffey 1st and his son Jason King. Also special thanks to all the CNAs and nurses and staff at the Kings Garden Campus of Perry Lutheran Homes for helping him the last 10 years.
