Edsel Vey Potter of King City, entered in to his eternal home in heaven on Saturday, February 17, 2024.
He was born March 18, 1941 to the late Martha and James Potter on their farm.
He loved sports and was involved in football, basketball and track during his high school years. He loved to hunt, fish, play cards and other games.
His dad gave him a love for farming growing up, and he continued to farm after he married for several years.
He was active in his church, serving as a deacon at Mount Moriah Baptist Church for many years as well as serving on the Gentry County Soil Water and Soil Conservation Department Board.
Being a kid at heart, and having a great sense of humor, he liked to joke around, teasing others, especially his kids and grandkids on numerous occasions.
All of his family meant the world to him and he invested his whole life being there for them in so many ways. But the most important thing to Edsel was his relationship with Jesus Christ. He loved to take time to be still and marvel at many of God’s beautiful sunrises and sunsets, along with so much other beauty around him on the farm.
Edsel is preceded in death by his parents; and brothers, Elvin, Clinton and James Potter.
Survivors are his school sweetheart/wife, Brenda Potter; children, Tim Potter, Jan Dice and Suzanne Klindt; grandchildren, Mylon Dice, Arial Dice, Margaret Dice, Melissa Trickle, Lane Potter, Chad Potter, Bryton Potter, and Faith Klindt; and great-grandchildren, Shant and Lyla Dice; and sister-in-law, Louise Potter.
