David Michael Powers, 56, of Concord, formerly of Lincoln, succumbed to complications of ataxia and metastatic prostate cancer after a long and courageous struggle, at the Walden Health and Rehab Center in Concord, on Tuesday, October 18, 2016. He was the beloved son of the late Richard F. Powers who died in 2003 and the late H. Irene (Mockel) Powers who died on September 28, 2016. He leaves three loving sisters; Patricia Selin and her husband John of Stow, Cynthia Frost and her husband Ray of Windsor, Pamela Rodenhizer and her husband John of Fitchburg, and his sister-in-law, Anne Powers of Maynard, wife of his brother, Richard E. Powers, who predeceased him in 2002, an aunt; Marlene Mockel of Malden, several nieces, a nephew, several grand nieces, a grandnephew, cousins and many wonderful friends. David was a well-known Radio Broadcast Engineer in the Boston area for many years as half of the Minuteman Communications team and worked for almost every local radio station in Boston including WBCN, KISS108 and WBZ to WEEI and WGBH. He also traveled with Doug Banks and the Tom Joyner Morning Shows as well as ABC's Rejoice Gospel whenever they were on the road broadcasting their remotes and events. On his own, he also worked hundreds of games at Fenway Park, TD Garden and Foxborough Stadium for the visiting teams of the Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox and Patriots. Many of our well-known radio broadcasters and sports announcers knew Dave, and considered him a friend. Dave, always the inventor even when ill, was constantly thinking of new ideas for both business and technology. He was a loyal friend to many and always thought of others first...especially the less fortunate, surprising them with ballgame passes, tours of the arenas and thoughtful gifts. He will always be remembered for his quiet and humble demeanor but, also for his gentle and kind persona. Relatives and friends are invited to attend his graveside service on Friday, October 21st at 1 pm in Lincoln Cemetery, Lexington Road, Lincoln. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent in Dave's name to The Pine Street Inn at http://www.pinestreetinn.org/donate Arrangements are under the care of the Dee Funeral Home of Concord.
