CASTLEWOOD, VIRGINIA – Curtis “Pedro” Powers, 67, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, December 16, 2020, at Smyth County Community Hospital, Marion, Virginia. He was born in Norton, Virginia, son of the late Willard Hermon Powers. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Leonard and Naomi Hughes. Pedro was a Christian, who loved the Lord.

His greatest joy in life was his grandson Easton, whom he was so proud of. He showed nothing but courage and strength throughout the past 9 months of his life, facing each new challenge and diagnosis with faith, hope, and a smile.
