Dean Clinton Powell - Born in 1976, died tragically this past week at the age of 41. Survived by his son, Clinton; mother, Cleo; four brothers, Shawn, Jessie, Danny and Joey; sisters, Brandy and Kriste; as well as aunties, nieces and nephews. We will miss his unique outlook on life, his humor and twinkly blue eyes. Dean was an artist in his soul and loved to work with his hands fashioning beauty from ordinary things. Dean loved Harley Davidson motorcycles, listening to music and a good Steven King novel. Dean worked as a foundry man for the larger part of his life. Son, you were taken from us much too soon. You will always live on in our hearts. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, December 11, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at RIPLINGER FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, 4305 N. DIVISION, SPOKANE, WA.
