Irvin Lewis "Mickie" Powell quietly entered into his heavenly home on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at his home in Richmond, VA. He was born in Virginia to the late George Washington and Mary Ruth Davis Powell.

He received his education in Emporia, VA. Irvin accepted Christ as his personal savior at an early age. During his childhood he attended and later joined the Rocky Mount Baptist Church in Emporia, VA.
