John Powell Sovie, aged 40, left us to be with the Lord in the early afternoon of Saturday, December 2, 2023 after a brief illness. He was born to John Joseph Sovie and Cynthia Louise Johnson on February 18, 1983 in Portland, Oregon. John loved golfing, disc golf, UFC Fights and was a lifelong fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He earned his Culinary Degree right after high school and enjoyed cooking and baking for family and friends. His greatest joy was when he became a father in 2015. He and his son loved the outdoors. They spent many weekends fishing, crabbing, and swimming. John is preceded in death by his father, John, his grandfather Powell. He is survived by his mother, Cynthia; his older sister Stephanie (Brian); his younger sister April (Matt); his half-sister Tia (Bobby); his half-sister Cayla (Joe); his half-brother Clayton; his son Henry and his stepdaughter Nevayah.
