POWER, Michael Lynn, 71, a treasured Louisville businessman and philanthropist, passed away peacefully Wednesday, June 3, 2015 in his Louisville home with his caregiver, Alexander Carnevale, at his side.
Son of Nadine McNutt and L.C. Power, Mike was born and raised in Louisville’s South End. Even at an early age, Mike had an ambitious blue-collar work ethic and a talent for sales. While attending DuPont Manual High School in the late 1950s, Mike earned a scholarship to the University of Louisville and, in 1965, received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. It didn’t take long for Mike’s entrepreneurial spirit to shine through.
He was preceded in death by his devoted wife of 47 years, Faye Reecer Power, who passed away in 2013. They were an inseparable pair from the age of 16, two Manual High School sweethearts who made the most of life at every turn.
Mike is survived by his son, current Power Creative CEO David Power (Bruce Hardy), and his sister Lynette McKinney (Jim), brother-in-law Mike Reecer (Teresa), niece Tracy Reecer Sightler (Rob) and two nephews, Kyle McKinney (Ashley Anderson) and Matthew Reecer (Megan Mullinix).
Visitation will be 12-8pm Tuesday at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road, and Wednesday after 9am at Christ Church United Methodist Church, 4614 Brownsboro Rd, followed by the funeral service at 11am. Burial will take place in Cave Hill Cemetery.
