Colin Powell's Lifetime Of Service & Episcopal Faith

In life, Colin Luther Powell, the son of Jamaican Anglican immigrants, rose to become an Army general, a White House aide to four presidents and the first Black American to serve as the United States secretary of state. But On Oct. 18, the 84-year-old military leader became the latest victim of COVID-19, passing away due to complications from the virus. Powell was fully vaccinated, his family said on social media. "We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American," Powell's family announced on Facebook Monday.
