Gregory James Potter
Gregory James Potter, 34, of Albuquerque, died at home of natural
causes Saturday, August 23, 2003. Greg grew up in Los Alamos, where he
displayed a gift and a joy for track, football and wrestling. He was a
devoted Chicago Bulls and Cubs fan who enjoyed watching games with his
Grandpa Danz. He was active in the Boy Scouts and achieved the rank of
Eagle Scout. His genuine warmth and compassion for friends and strangers
was legend. His personality was an eclipsing light toward which so many
souls gravitated. Greg loved to bring laughter to those in his presence
and was a devoted son, brother and uncle who would do anything for his
family. He will be greatly missed.
Greg is survived by his parents, James M. and Darlene Potter of Los
Alamos; sisters Kristin Pederson of Los Alamos and Anna Nowell of El
Paso, Texas; brothers Rudy Potter of Los Alamos and Jaiya John of Silver
Spring, Maryland; Brothers-in-law, Neal Pederson of Los Alamos and
Jeremy Nowell of El Paso; nephew Benjamin Pederson and niece Michelle
Pederson of Los Alamos; niece Jordan McCoy-John of Takoma, Maryland;
grandmothers Betty Danz of Ottowa, Illinois and Marie Warsaw of East
Peoria, Illinois; and the many relatives he kept close to his heart. He
was preceded in death by his grandfathers Rudolph Danz and Harold Potter
of Peoria, Illinois and Art Warsaw of East Peoria, Illinois.
Services are to be held at The Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Los
Alamos, New Mexico on Thursday, August 28th at 1 p.m. Interment at Guaje
Pines and reception at Parish Hall to follow.
