Mr. John A. Poteat

I met John under less than ideal circumstances in Playa Del Rey, CA. However, he was the nicest guy and couldn't help but be astounding by the size of this man. He was married to Tonya Knight at the time and they were having difficulties. I talked to him and he didn't want her to get in trouble and we left the situation alone. John was a gentleman during the entire situation and I am sorry to hear about his passing. Sometimes you only get a snapshot of someone but the one I have of John is...

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of John. I was a high school friend of John's and remember him fondly as a kind and very thoughtful person! He will always be remembered. My sincere condolences and prayers to your family at this time.

Our deepest condolences Khristy! We were shocked that John left us too soon! May his soul rest in peace!

Khristy and Christian, I am incredibly saddened by the news of your loss. I will remember John fondly coming through carline intent on following all the rules. We often joked as he pulled through. Christian-remember the strength your Dad has left you. I pray his memories surround you both during your time of grieving. Much Love-Ms Tanya

Khristy and Christian, our hearts and prayers are with you today as you celebrate John's life with family and friends. He was larger than life in so many ways. His passing was much too soon and too sudden; we hope that memories of your magical lives together will sustain you as you continue the passion and love of life that you all created together. He leaves us a wonderful legacy in both of you.

So very, very sorry to read this sad news. As a classmate and friend of Jennifer's at Westtown, my memories stretch back to John and Philip as handsome, athletic, young boys. I know this is a terrible loss for all of John's family, and I send my condolences and prayers.

Khristy, I am so sorry to hear about John. I know you and Christian are so devastated and will miss him as will anyone who has ever met him!

Sorry for your loss- we know John was a great husband and father and will be sadly missed-
