Mark Anthony Powell, of St. Clair, passed away at his home in the presence of his loving family, on Friday, February 23, 2024, at the age of 57.

He was a member of the St. Clair Elks Lodge, National Rifle Association and Missouri Conservation. Mark enjoyed hunting for deer, mushrooms, Indian artifacts, and fishing.
