Johnny Daniel Potter

1 Peter 4:8 Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it.  Love makes up for practically anything.

Johnny Daniel Potter, age 55, of 173 May Tester Lane, Mountain City, Tennessee, entered into his Heavenly home on Saturday, June 1, 2019, following a courageous battle. He was born June 14, 1963 in Mountain City, Tennessee to the late Martin V. Potter and Mary Alice Brice Potter. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Cory Johnson, brothers; Jimmy and Donald Potter and a sister, Sherry Kelly.

Johnny was a member of the Community Church of Mountain City, Tennessee. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, fishing, and shared a joint appreciation of wine, as well as the art of wine making, with his wife, Annaliese.  Johnny was a very strong, special man. He was a father figure and mentor to many. All that knew him were very blessed to have him in their lives.
