Our beloved brother, uncle and friend, quietly left this world in his 69th year on May 25th, 2022. After contacting Covid in April, Michael was unable to overcome complications and his lungs had nothing left to give.
He is survived by brother Tom (Helen), sister Terri (Chuck) niece Katie (Rylan), nephews Scott (Julie), James (Erin), Daniel and Michael, great nephews Oliver, Greyer, and Harrison and great nieces Senna and Emily. He was predeceased by his parents, Doris Aileen Potts (Malm) (2013) and James Townley Potts (2000).
Michael devoted many years to union causes and was the president of CUPE 407 serving the Vancouver School District.
Among his many pursued interests, Michael was a photographer, bread baker, wine maker, book collector, gardener and fisherman. He enjoyed music, playing banjo, reading and cooking. Photography was a lifelong passion and he took pleasure in finding the extraordinary in ordinary things. He felt at home outdoors and his photos reflect that. Michael loved ocean fishing and he enjoyed many camping trips to Bere Point in Sointula, BC with his brother Tom and family.
Mike enjoyed all family dinners and celebrations. In his last few years, his great nieces and nephews brought him great joy and he often brought them his great bread!
This loss is felt deeply by his family and friends. We will miss his big hearted laugh, positive spirit and warm hugs. There will be a private family gathering to honour Michael.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Michael Townley Potts May 25th 2022..
