He served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict.  On March 17, 1953, he and Frances Ann Owen were united in marriage in Eldorado, Oklahoma. The Powells spent 56 wonderful years together.

Johnny and Frances worked hard their entire lives, mostly in the grocery business. In 1967, they moved from Hobart to Frederick where they established and owned Coy's Discount Food where Johnny worked until retirement.  Johnny taught his children how to work hard in the business and employed a number of teenagers in the community over the years.  He truly enjoyed working with his customers.  Some of his customers may fondly remember him as "Mr. Coy".

When not at the grocery store you could find Johnny on the golf course, even teaching all his sons-in-law the game.  He loved spending time with his family and friends and watching sports.  Johnny leaves behind a legacy of children, grandchildren, and 13 precious great-grandchildren who brightened his days until the very end.
