Well Danny, today marks 20 years that you have been gone. It still seems like yesterday some days. Cody is living on his own and has turned into such a wonderful young man! He has all of your good qualities and is still a spitting image of you! I am beyond proud of him. He graduates with his Master´s degree this year! How awesome is that? We did it! He got through school and is living on his own and is a wonderful, funny and caring young man. Everything we wanted for him! I know you are sitting up there watching him proud as can be! I love you Danny and you will always have a piece of my heart!

19 years???? Where has the time gone?? Your son is 24 and a wonderful young man. I got married, to another Idaho boy and actually changed my name from Potts. It is so weird because I have been Potts so long but you would like him Danny. Tom loves me for me and understands that I will always love you and you will always have a place in my heart. You were my first love Danny Alan Potts and Tom is my last! I had to move back to Idaho to find him but it´s ok. When I was back there and when I fell in love with Tom I was finally able to throw away the pills from 19 years ago today. The pills I held onto because I never let you go and just didn´t realize it. I thought I had, but it wasn´t until I met Tom and could actually get rid of them that I realized I hadn´t. Like I said, you were my first love and the father of my child, I apparently wasn´t ready to let you go yet. Oops. We are doing ok now. I love you Danny and miss you! I wish you were here to see Cody grow up. He is in his Master´s program at ASU and competing in a body transformation competition in December and he is doing Amazing! Well I will let you go. Always and Forever!

Hey Dad. Man, everything is so crazy right now. Mom lives in Idaho now, she's working her dream job, and I'm about to turn 21 in 3 days. Yea, I can legally drink Dad, crazy right? I could not have made it this far without your guidance from above. I've found my way back to church. I'm growing and seeking help when I need and trying to become the best man I can be, every second of every day. I love you Dad, and I miss you, every day. I hope I'm making you proud up there.
October 16, 2019
LOVE YOU!

Hey Dad. It's, been pretty crazy to say the least. I'm thinking about you more and trying to grow up. So far I have two part time jobs, college full time, and pursuing music the best way I can. I know you're here with me every step of the way. You'd be so proud to see mom and what she is doing for herself. We love you and miss you.

Hey dad it's me again. Not trying to do a long writing but just let you know that I will be 16 on Thursday! That means you still have to get me something.:) Just figured I'd say hi and let you know. Love you Daddy.
Cody
February 9, 2015
Hey Dad. It's been awhile. Too long if I say myself. I was just reading the messages for you. It's so obvious how much people love you. I got my permit the day after Christmas 2014 and am freaking mom out with my driving. It's funny. Joe has been the best thing to happen to mom and I since... I can honestly remember. They got married and now we are a group. I wish you could have seen mom. She was so happy and beautiful in her wedding dress. I felt you the whole night I was there. And Tevis made sure to tell me that too. Lol I guess everything has its little way of turning out alright. I still miss my daddy though. Ok I'm crying now but it's tears of joy, love you

Been thinking alot about you recently, I miss you and so does Cody. Being a nurse and all the family stuff going on right now really makes someone stop and be grateful for all they have had in their life. I am still not sure why you had to leave so soon but I am grateful for the time that we did have together. We have a wonderful son who is amazing and very talented and smart. He reminds all of us of you more and more everyday. Joe has been great to us and I am sure you would be happy with how much he loves Cody and I and I know that is all you would want. It doesnt stop the pain from loosing you but he makes it easier to cope with. You will always be in our hearts and on our minds. Thank you for being my husband and giving me Cody!! I am truley blessed and grateful for everything I have had in my life.
Dawn
October 16, 2013
Well, Dan it has been 9 years today since you left and went to Heaven. Cody is so you it's not funny. Joe is amazing though. I am sure you would be happy to see how he takes care of Cody and I. He is truley amazing. You will always and forever be in my heart.

He is getting so big and he is doing really well in school. He is going into 5th grade this year and boy does he crush on girls. (gee i wonder where that comes from. lol) Just be there for him, he really needs you. Well, I just wanted to say I love you and miss you!!!! Forever & Alawys

Hey Dan, I know it's been a long time since I've been on line , as you know time flies for us and time stands still for you, a lot has happened since I last wrote,I now facilitate a drug and alcohol class, it's called Warrior Down, It's a good program, it helps teach others that there's still a good life after drug and alcohol use, We started it for Native Americans but found out it works for all races as well, I even have some guys from a federal prison facility that are allowed to attend, Cool huh? I also got to play the drum for the opening ceremony for the Special Olympics, That was fun,well I'll write again soon, Love and miss you a lot your Uncle Neil &aunt Sherri.

Hey there Danny,
How are you? I am ok. So much has happened and I was thinking about you today. I wish you were here. I know you are with Dawn today and that you are taking care of her. It has been a rough road. Cody is getting so big. He takes after you of course. I now have Bryce who just turned 1 on Jan.8th. I can't believe he is here. He is my world. I know you were at his b-day party last week with us. Seeing our two boys together was great. Well I better get going. Take Care. -lots-a-luv-Misty

Well Danny, I'm sure you know but Grandpa died on February 6th. I'm sure you, him and earl are all fishing right now but please take care of him. Mom and Grandma are having a rough time and I just can't take anymore. Grandpa was buried right next to my spot at the cemetary. That means that I will be in between you and Grandpa. Well I just needed to talk to you so i'll let you get back to fishing. I love you!!

Well sweetie, we made it thru the holidays. Don't know how because I cried most of the time but we made it. Cody is doing so good. He is just amazing and reminds me so much of you! We miss you everyday! I am graduating in May with my management degree! You would be so proud of me. I am also going back for nursing. I finally made up my mind. Your family no longer talks to us. It kinda hurts but we are strong, you made us that way. I hope your smiling and there with Cody every step of the way.

Danny, I just wanted to say that I miss u terribly. This time of year is so hard on Cody and I. I try not to fall apart but sometimes I can't help it. I wish so much you were here beside me. The pain sometimes seems to much to bear but Cody always makes it worth it. You would be so proud, he is doing awesome. He is so much like you it is not funny. You only had a short time with him but boy did he pick up alot. I love you Danny Alan Potts and forever will!!!!

Hello Danny Potts family. I know him as Elder Potts. I just heard from a family in Phoenix that Danny passed away and had to look it up for myself. I am very sorry for your loss. He was a really great guy. I was his companion in the mission field. I was actually his trainer. He injured his leg while being with me as you probably remember. I have been reading some of the other entries and agree with the words used to describe him. He was definitely a riot, and loved talking about automobiles. I never kept in touch with him. My sympathies to his wife and son. I wish you great happiness. I would love to find out more about Danny since the mission if someone would like to write to me. Thanks for letting me sign this book. May Heavenly Father bless you all. I know He lives and loves you.
June 15, 2007
Well Dan, Grandpa and you Baptized Cody and We are so proud of all three of you. Cody knows you where their. Now this Sunday he is going to do a speech to Baptism.

I talked to your Dad the other day, He seems to be doing ok, He had me scared the other day with his stroke, but I guess it was'ent a bad one, you remember when I had one, you helped me so much then, it took me a long time to get back to myself, but as you know I've been out of that darn wheelchair now going on 2 years now, hard to believe it was almost 12 years ago, Dan I wish I could have been there for you, not a day goes by I don't think about you, you will always be in my heart,I will sit and type and talk to you as often as I can ,you know I can feel you here with me , most people don't understand or know what to look for,but as you know I'm not most people, you know I've died 4 times now and he says that I'm not finished yet,not many understand the native ways but I can feel your spitit when I'm writting in your book, I can't wait till summer, I get to do more this year cause your auntie trusts me more by myself now, when I do go fishing I hope to feel your presents with me, just let me catch the big one this time ok,[hahaha]you always caught the big ones huh, well dan I must check the rest of my mail so I'll talk to you soon, LOVE to you and your family your uncle Neil and aunt Sherri

Hey there hun how's it going? Cody's b-day is coming up and it is still kinda hard. Planning without you helping is weird. I never really stood on my own before because I always had you. I am doing good now and so is Cody. Tevis and I have been together for 8 months now. I know you would be happy with that because he was the one you would tell most of the truth to. He is doing well by us. We take Cody shooting all the time. He loves your nine and Tevis helps him. He got 3 targets the other day. We are getting him out and helping him and it is fun. It is not the same as you and no one could ever replace you. No one would want to. But it is a great feeling to be happy again. He makes me feel like you used to. You always told me to move on. I never thought I could until Tevis. I hope you smile down on us. Cody talks to you all the time. Every time there is a rainbow we both smile. I miss Kala and the kids. I am glad I didn't get that close though. I knew they would leave. They always go back to their comfort zone. I can't complain. Mine is here. Miss you and Love you

Danny,
I am sorry that it took so long for me to write you. I just could not bring myself to do it until now. I looked at the Dan was here 09/22/04 message that you wrote on my whiteboard and I just lost it this morning. I wanted so much for it to be that date again. You were the glue that held our group together and without you it all seems to fall apart. You always knew how to make things better. Most of the time it was "run in the house get dawn and cody we are going out to the dam now." I miss those times the most. Dawn and I took Cody to the little Carnival down the street the other day and Cody wanted to go through the fun house so I went with him. You would be so proud of him, he didn't fall at the tunnel at the end this time. God Cody is getting so big and he is more and more like you everyday. Thank you for helping Dawn to get stronger and she loves you so much. I have tried to be there for her as much as a best friend can, but you already knew that. I know that you are watching over us especially on a day like today. I love you and I miss you bunches.

Well Danny, my birthday is a week away and I can't stop thinking it was the last time we went out together with our friends and had fun. You really made me feel special that night. As your year anniversery comes near I find myself having a harder time dealing with things. I moved back home with mom and dad and it has just been hard. Not being here with them, they have been great, it is just being here without you. As it cools down the jeep itch comes back full blown. We would be out at table right now or the dam having a blast. I have the top of your jeep and man it is nice. The freedom you feel when your in it is amazing. Cody misses you. He still breaks down crying missing you. Kala moved back to Idaho. I knew that was coming. That is her home and with you not here there was nothing left. Cody looks and acts just like you. He is getting darker and keeps saying look mama, I'm getting dark like my dad. When I cry he holds me and looks at me like you did. I swear he has your eyes where you can see his soul inside. He loves Lynard Skynard, especially with the top off the jeep. He climbs in like you tought him. He is doing great in first grade. He always wants to do what daddy did. If he doesn't want to do something all we have to do is say Daddy liked it and Cody is there! He really is a little you. I look forward to raising him and watching him grow to be the great man his father was. Like you always said Dan, with us, it was never about love, we knew we loved each other. Be with me on my birthday k? I like knowing your still there. Dawn

We just wanted to say Happy Father's Day to one of the greatest dad's there ever was and will be. Danny was not only a father to his son Cody but also to anyone that needed him. A GREAT MAN walked this earth and now he is gone. But don't worry, or maybe you should worry, he is now able to always watch over us. Danny, we love and miss you more than anything in the world. We all would give anything to have you back!!!! You hold our dreams in your hands. Be careful, they are easy to break. Cody prayes to you every night just hoping you will hear him. I know you are listening so just make sure and let him know. He loves you and has your picture right above him so every night when he goes to sleep he can see you. Forever and Always, Dawn, Kala, Cody, Katie, Micheal, and Justin

I really could of used your help. You are going to have to find a Shopping buddy for me. Shopping is not the same. I guess I even miss yelling at you to put that cart back on all four wheels. But I don't think anythink you ever touched was ever on four wheels all the time. Cody also has your silver touge. I know that your smiling cause he is grandma little big gentlemen just like you taught him. He can talk a server into anything. Sound like someone we know. I miss You and please tell us why.

Well, it has been six months today since Danny passed. It still seems like yesterday. I don't even know what to say besides I really miss him and it has been hard to try and adjust to him not being around. I am still trying to adjust to being alone but it is not working so well. I just want to thank Kala, her family, and my family for being there for me. I wouldn't be able to make it without all of you. Well, thanks to everyone who checks this and writes on it. Forever and Always Dawn I love you Danny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well this is our first Easter without Danny. It just doesn't feel the same. Then again, nothing ever will. I miss him a whole lot and it has been a very rough road. I will never love again the way I love Danny. He is my true love and always has been. Since the first day we met and I knew he was the one. That day will always remain with me. He was so cute sitting on my couch when I walked in. The second I laid eyes on him I fell in love and it just grew from there. Danny and I had finally gotten on track to where we wanted to be when he passed. But he tought me a lot and gave me the greatest gift in the world, our son Cody. They say it is better to have loved and lost then to never love at all. I agree, I can't imagine where my life would be now if Danny wasn't in it. I never I saw my life without him and that is why it is so hard now to move on. I still can't sleep. I miss him so much. The way he could get me so mad and then all he had to do was hold me or tell me he loved me and all the anger would melt away. Danny and I were truley best friends. Danny was Danny when he was with me, fun, spirited, outgoing, loving, caring, funny, and most the time, logical. haha It tought me what it is to be and individual and what it is to be free. I used to hate 4 wheeling and now I have, what Danny called, the itch. I have to go and play in the jeep. I am truley free and able to run when the top is off and I am in the middle of nowhere. The stars have so much more meaning. He tought me that you never know what tomorrow will bring, or even if there will be a tomorrow, so live life to its fullest why you are here. Danny was always the one that took care of things, now it is my turn and it is a tough task. But, with the knowledge he gave me and his voice always there, I am figuring things out. I could never say thanks enough for having Danny in my life. He ia, and always will be a part of me. I love you Danny Alan Potts Forever & Always, your loving wife, Dawn Michaelle Potts

I'm still in disbelief. It has been so long since I last seen Danny. He is greatly missed. I keep remembering him when he was young.....real young. About 3 when I married his Uncle. And all the time he was growing up. I send my love and prayers to his family.
I am sorry that I have not had the chance to really get to know his wife, and have never seen his little boy. But they are family and loved just the same. Aunt Sherri
