Alden Gordon Powers, 75, of Winchester New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on June 13, 2026, at the Applewood Center in Keene.

Born on December 9th, 1950, in Keene, he was the son of the late Wilmer James Powers and Mildred Mary Ann (Gillender) Powers. Alden was also predeceased by his beloved wife Shirley (Tatro) Powers; his daughter Mallory Powers; and his brother James Powers.

At the age of 17, Alden proudly enlisted in the United States Army and served his country during the Vietnam War as a truck driver. His service reflected the quiet determination and strong work ethic that would remain with him.

Throughout his life, he carried a deep appreciation for the outdoors. A certified “Rock Hound” and wanderer at heart, Alden could usually be found exploring the woods and trails of New Hampshire. Whether hiking a familiar path on Mt. Grace or wandering in search of native mushrooms, he enjoyed the simple adventure of being outside. He had a knack for spotting natural treasures others might miss and found joy in sharing his knowledge and discoveries with his family and friends.

Alden is survived by his son, Jeremy Powers and his wife Naarah; his daughters Shannon Powers and Kaitlyn Powers; his stepson Jason Taylor; stepdaughter Vicki Taylor, and his sisters Irene Ethridge and Margaret Fullman; his grandkids; Chelsea Taylor, Clarissa Carlson (Jared), Cheyenne Tuller (Trae), Chantelle Denico, Isabelle Hubbard, Thomas Hubbard, Wesson Taylor, Annalee Taylor, Audrey Powers and Kaia Powers; as well as his great-grandchildren; Nealon Brown III, Summer Brown, Wesley Carlson, Camden Rebaudo, September Tullar, Marcello Tullar, Khaisyn Cooper, Vana Gerry, and Arayya Gibbs. He also leaves behind many extended family members and friends.
