Biography Scott Matthew Powell, 56, of La Porte City, died Friday, February 5, 2021 at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics from complications of Covid-19. He was born October 10, 1964 in Waterloo, the son of James “Jim” Powell and Kathy (Haddeman) Gendreau. Scott graduated from Dysart-Geneseo High School with the class of 1983. He received his electrical engineering degree from Hawkeye Tech. He received his Bachelor of Science in aviation from Thomas Edison State University while serving in the Army. He went on to receive a Master of Business Administration degree from St. Ambrose University. Scott married Kristina Christian on August 4, 1990 in Dysart. Scott was a helicopter pilot in the United States Army from 1988 until retiring from the National Guard in 2009. He served two tours in Korea and in various other locations over the years. He had worked at Kraft Foods in Wisconsin and then moved to La Porte City when he started working as maintenance supervisor at John Deere until retiring in November of 2020. Scott was a disciple of Christ and guided his family through strong faith. Scott enjoyed golfing, boating, fishing, spending time at the Mississippi River, and watching movies. He made it a priority to attend his children’s sporting events. He was an expert in car trading - never knew what he would pull up in. He should have been a spokesperson for any new diet fad. Scott was always good for a practical joke and will forever be heard telling Kris, “we’re going broke saving money!” Survived by his wife, Kris Powell of La Porte City; three children, Kylie (Will) Crees, Wes Powell, and Courtney Powell all of La Porte City; mother, Kathy (Bob) Gendreau of Lexington, KY; two brothers, Steven Powell of Lexington, KY and Michael Powell of Cedar Falls; and 3 step-siblings. Preceded in death by his father, James “Jim” Powell and step-sister, Debbie Schaefer. Click here to send a private message to the family.
