Gen. Colin Powell, the former secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the administration of then-President George W. Bush, died Monday from complications related to COVID-19, his family announced.
Powell, 84, played an influential role during the administration of Bush-43, Fox News reported.
“We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American,” his family said in a statement, adding that he was fully vaccinated.
The statement continued, “We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment.”
Powell served in Bush’s Cabinet from 2001-2005, including during the clamorous days and years following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks when the country benefited from his stabilizing influence. He was the first African-American secretary of state.
