Fred Powell Obituary
1943 – 2025
Fred Powell, a devoted family man, proud veteran, and respected leader in his field, passed away peacefully in 2025. He leaves behind a legacy of dedication, service, and strength.
Born and raised in Utah, Fred graduated from Grand County High School in 1962. Committed to continuing his education, he went on to attend Stevens-Henager College, Utah Tech University, Dixie College, and Utah State University, pursuing studies that would serve him throughout his life.
Fred was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. He served with distinction as the personal secretary to a Colonel, a role that reflected both his professionalism and sense of duty.
After returning home, Fred built a long and accomplished career as a journeyman lineman. He worked for Utah Power and Light, where he not only mastered his trade but also rose through the ranks to become a manager-a testament to his strong work ethic, leadership, and deep knowledge of the field.
Fred's life was marked by quiet service, whether to his country, his coworkers, or his community. He will be remembered for his integrity, humility, and the steady way he approached every challenge.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. Fred is survived by his wife Linda, son Chris, daughter Jennie and grandchildren Derek, Michael, Alex, Conner and Anubis Powell.
Graveside services will be held at the Sunset Memorial Gardens Cemetery on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 11:00 am.

My deepest condolences to Linda and the family. Fred was the beloved Uncle Fred to my late husband Dean Powell. I have fond memories of our visits to Moab. Uncle Fred was always welcoming and ready to take us for hikes in the beautiful Moab country. He will be sorely missed. May his memory be a blessing

Oh my .... I remember the days we all walked the halls of Grand County High School. Fred was the sweetest of our classmates ... before we all started dating we girls invited Fred to drag Main with us, so he jumped in the back seat. We girls started singing the pop song to him about sitting in the back seat kissing and hugging with Fred and he could not stop giggling. What a dear friend that became an amazing man with the same tender heart. Grateful for the memories that live on after we all made our lives outside of Moab valley. Moab loves to Linda and the family who made life with Fred. Karen Sue McGowan Nellis
