Warren Archibald Potter

Warren Archibald Potter, 83, of Bryceville, Fl, passed away in his home on September 1st, 2025, surrounded by those who loved him. Originally from Arlington in Jacksonville, Fl, he was born to his father, Percival Warren Potter, Jr and mother, Majorie Pearl Gilmore. He was predeceased by his parents as well as his siblings, Barbara Parrish, Joan Bliss, and Geraldine Pruitt.

Warren spent over 60 years working in the glass industry. He started working as a glazier at Florida Glass. Years afterwards, he and his friend and business partner, Johnny Phillips, opened All Purpose Glass & Mirror. They ran a successful business until retiring themselves and the company in May of 2021. They prided themselves on giving employment opportunities to those who may have had a rough start in life.

Aside from his contributions and life time friendships made within the glass industry, Warren was an avid Florida Sportsman. He grew up riding horses, fishing at Mill Cove, and hunting with his nephew, Lee Pruitt and cousins - Johnny, Todd, Randy, and Mickey Ross, in Gilmore. He enjoyed off-shore fishing on his 1999 Mako, named The Sands of Time, with his family and friends. He spent many years, riding broncos in the rodeo, which lead to training and breeding quarter horses (Lil Bit Tipsy, Reds double digit, Dolly Go Girl, and many others) to race in places such as Pompano Park.

Warren was loved by all who encountered him and were privy to his personality and detailed stories. His wife of 62 years, Mary Ester Drury, and his beloved grandson, Matthew Warren Potter, predeceased him. Matthew left behind two wonderful great-grandsons, Slade and Owen Potter, that survive Warren. He is also survived by his son, Peter Potter and his granddaughter, Ashley Flowers (Logan).
