On April 30 Mark Llewellyn passed away at the age of 60. Llewllyn was a pillar of the Powhatan community and beloved by many members of the county. 

In his obituary he is described as, “A lifelong presence in the community.” It also says, “Mark was known through Llewellyn’s Towing and Repair, the family business he proudly helped build and support for over 40 years. 

Those who had the privilege of knowing Mark will remember his straight-shooting wit, his determined “get ’er done” attitude, and his unwavering willingness to lend a hand in any situation.

He left a lasting impression on everyone he met, and the space left in his absence is one that can never be filled.”

To honor Mark Llewellyn’s memory the Powhatan Fire Department, Police Department, State Police, and local towing and repair companies formed a procession along with his loved ones. Members of the community lined Anderson highway in support. 

Some of the local businesses included Jinks, Fred’s, AAlways Hookin’ Towing and Tire, Woody’s, Adams Oil Company, Seay’s Towing, and many more. In total it took ten minutes for all of the police cars, fire trucks, rescue cars, and business vehicles to pass. 

At the end, before the start of the friends and family in normal cars, Llewellyn’s Towing and Repair vehicles wrapped up the line of business trucks. 

This show of support highlights how close-knit the Powhatan community is.
