Publish in a newspaper

Broaddus Hutton "Bob" Potts, age 81 of Rivesville, West Virginia passed away on August 11, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. He was born on September 10, 1943 in Mill Creek, WV. Son of the late Carl and Dicie Potts.

A graduate of Morgantown High School, he was a Pipefitter and member of the UA Local 152 Plumbers & Pipefitters. He was recently recognized for his 55 years of service. He also spent 5 years in the WV National Guard.

He loved traveling and seeing new places and he never met a stranger. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golf and bowling. He also liked to cheer on the Mountaineers when they played Football or Basketball. He was a jokester and loved playing pranks on people. He truly enjoyed spending time with family and watching his grand and great grandchildren playing the most. A recent trip in June to Disney World with 19 members of his family in 90* plus temperatures was proof of his love.

He is preceded in Death by his parents Carl and Dicie Potts, brothers Loran Potts (Loretta), Dewey Potts (Frances), Carl "Junior" Potts, Sisters Julia Hawkins (Perry), Thelma Phillips (Don), Dorothy King (Pete) and Brother in laws Rich Pfab and Jim Morris

He is survived by his wife of 52 years Marilyn Tucker Potts; his daughters: Sherry Brock (Kenneth) Kathy Miller (Clarence); five grandchildren: Renee McFarland (Chris) Caitlyn Miller, Alexis Puhalla (Josh), Mackenzie Sanders (Matthew) and Benjamin Miller; four Great Grandchildren: Waylon McFarland, Wyatt McFarland, Bristol Puhalla and Berkeley Sanders. He is also survived by his two sisters: Loretta Pfab and Helen Morris and many nieces and nephews.

His family already misses him deeply and will hold him in their hearts forever.
