Anthony Dewayne Potts, age 27 of Ethridge, TN passed away December 15, 2018 at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, TN. He was born November 18, 1991 in Columbia, TN.
Anthony worked at the Tire Shop in Summertown, TN and in the maintenance department at Senoco in Mt. Pleasant, TN. He was a hard worker even when he was sick. He was the kind of person who was always smiling and is described by family and friends as easy going, happy go lucky and generous. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He enjoyed Wheelin’ in the Country and the peacefulness of fishing, but his passion was riding horses. He had a special place in his heart for his mother and some thought he was a momma’s boy. He was lovingly known as “Uncle Pottsie” and “Uncle Thumper”. A friend to many. He was truly one of a kind.
Anthony was a baptized believer and was a member of Lighthouse Pentecostal Church, and he attended Cowboy Church in Ethridge, Tennessee.
Anthony is survived by his parents; James & Melissa Potts, brothers; Jonathan (Christie) Potts & James Thomas Potts, nieces; Cadia Potts, Madisen Potts, Raelyn Potts, Adalynne Potts, nephews; Caiden Potts & Oliver Potts, grandparents; John & Judy Helton, and Doris Potts, great-grandmother; Mary Brown and several aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends including Scarlett Barnhill and Dawn Benson. Truly special best friend, Tim Beard. He was preceded in death by Clarence Potts, Johnny Helton and Anna Renea Potts.
