December 29, 1960 ~ February 26, 2016
William “Bill” Powell
55, Indianapolis, passed away on February 26, 2016 after battling cancer for the past 10 months. Bill was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on December 29, 1960 to the late Fuston and Helen Powell.
Bill was a maintenance technician for Stalard & Associates for 7 years and for Meridian Management for many years before that. He was considered a hard worker and jack of all traits by many. Not only could he fix a house, but he also worked on cars, especially his Chevy Chevelle in his younger years.
Some would describe Bill as being strong willed, while others would say that he has a silly side. He loved to aggravate his daughters, but spoil his grandchildren. Bill was an old-soul who loved John Wayne, movies (especially the black and white ones), and spending time with his friends and family. He will truly be missed by many, but never forgotten.
Bill is survived by his: wife, Tracie; step-daughters, Ashley and Tia Hibbard; grandchildren, Brody and Monroe “Roeroe”; siblings, Barbara Limeberry of Mooresville, Linda Garrett of Avon, and Bob Powell of Mooresville; along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his: parents, along with his siblings, Margot Trusler, Gene Powell, and Betty “Becky” Jenkins, whom all fought the fight with cancer as well.
Bill’s viewing will be from 1pm to 3pm on Monday, February 29, 2016 at Legacy Cremation & Funeral Services – Lawrence, 5215 N. Shadeland Avenue.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the family to help with funeral costs.
May each of you find courage to face tomorrow as you rest in the knowledge that we truly care about each of your needs and that we will be here to walk beside you in your journey of grief.

I introduced Bill to Tracie many years ago and they fell in love and got married. Bill was the type to help anyone out. I recently lost my mom last month to cancer as well and Bill was at her visitation even though he didn’t feel well. Tracie has been strong through all of this and we have been best friends since the age of 12. We know they are no longer in pain and up in heaven watching after us. Tracie, you know I will always be here for you. Love Donna
RIP BILLY…YOU ARE TRULY LOVED AND WILL BE FOREVER MISSED!!! FLY HIGH WITH THE ANGELS CUZ UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Goodbye Uncle Billy (Whimpy). I will forever miss and love you. Wish I had spent more time with you in the last few years. R.I.P.
I am so sorry for the loss, I can’t say I have lost a sibling but I do feel for the whole family.
I’m sorry to hear about Bill. He was along time and good friend and will be missed. My memories of him will live on.
It has taken me a few days to be able to write this. Each day and night I would text and or call you and say Good morning lil Brother I Love You or Good Night lil brother I Love You. I would call you on my lunch breaks to say Hi and to check on you. I spent my days off from work with you. We watch old shows and watch Hogan Hero Movies. You was my right hand man. If i need something you were always there for me. You and Becky were my best friends. If I need to talk all I had to do was call either of you. Now you both are together. I will truly miss the both of you. You both left way to soon. So the the last time Goght lil Brother I Love You. Till we meet again. RIH Lil Brother
