House Resolution 118
(As Adopted by House)
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF QUANDERIES KASHAWN POWE AND EXPRESSING DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS UPON HIS PASSING.
WHEREAS, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven," and as such, the immaculate author and finisher of our soul's destiny summoned the mortal presence of dearly beloved Quanderies KaShawn Powe to eternal rest on July 7, 2016, rendering great sorrow and loss to his family and friends; and
WHEREAS, the Waynesboro community lost a great young man with the passing of Quanderies, who was born on April 16, 1993, to Machelle D. Powe and Ronnie Jordan; and
WHEREAS, Quanderies graduated from Wayne County High School in 2011 and felt the patriotic call to enlist in the Mississippi Army National Guard, where he would go on to attain the rank of Specialist with Alpha Company of the 155th Brigade Engineer Battalion; and
WHEREAS, while serving in the National Guard, Specialist Powe's steadfast loyalty to mission accomplishment and vehicle readiness led to the successful completion of over nine training missions, and his dedication to Army values inspired younger enlisted soldiers to serve with the same unwavering determination; and
WHEREAS, Quanderies was a hard working young man and in addition to serving the United States in the National Guard he obtained his commercial driver's license and began driving eighteen-wheelers in 2014; and
WHEREAS, though he has traversed the river of life to reunite with those who have preceded him in death, the legacy of Quanderies will continue to refresh the hearts and fond memories of his beloved survivors: parents, Machelle Powe and Ronnie Jordan; brothers, Reontae Powe and Sedrick West, Jr.; niece, Braylee Powe; grandmother, Alice Colter; great-grandmother, Mary H. Pou; uncles, Vernon Powe, Lymon Powe, Jr., James Jordan, John Jordan and Jimmy Jordan; aunts, Tina M. Powe and Regina Jordan; and his military brethren; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to recognize the lives of fine Mississippians, such as Quanderies Powe, whose gentle spirit will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate to know him:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby commend the life and legacy of Quanderies KaShawn Powe, and extend sincere sympathy to his family and friends upon his passing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be furnished to the family of Quanderies KaShawn Powe and to the members of the Capitol Press Corps.
