Billy Joe "B.J." Powell

Age 60, a resident of Fayetteville, Arkansas, passed away Thursday, August 22, 2024 surrounded by his family and friends at Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was born September 22, 1963 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the son of Max Eugene and Sina Sue (Tucker) Powell.

B.J. had owned and operated his own counter top business before going to work for JB Hunt, where he has worked for the past ten years. Some of his hobbies included race cars, motorcycles and collecting guns. He enjoyed farming and spending time with his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and two brothers Tommy Powell and Robert Powell.

B.J. left this world a hero, while his untimely death was a tragedy for his family it was a miracle to numerous other families through the choice he had made to be an organ donor.

We're very sorry to hear about Billy Joe's passing. We hope God comforts his family and friends. We had been friends since 1975 and we had spoken recently. We were looking forward to having dinner with Billy Joe and meeting Sandy on our next trip home to Northwest Arkansas. He was one of a kind and he will be missed.
