Frank Powell was born on October 23, 1959 to John and Verna (Stanley) Powell. He passed away on June 11, 2021. He leaves behind his wife, of 37 years, Janel (Fuksa), son Barrett John, and daughter Ryli Ann.
Frank grew up hauling hay and raising pigs on the family farm, southeast of Helena, alongside his brothers, John and Vernon. His interest in the hog industry continued throughout his lifetime. He was often the go to man if you needed to buy, sell or just get advice.
Frank loved going to livestock shows to watch not only his children, but numerous nieces, nephews and friends compete for the blue ribbon. He relished in the stories told around the ring and often told a few of his own.
He was a man who always had a habit of seeing things for exactly what they were, never straying far from what he believed was right or wrong. While his thoughts and actions might have seemed blunt at times, his firm beliefs were reflected in actions, where he never missed an opportunity to help others, regardless of the situation. He will be missed by many.
