John Potter, III

John E. Potter III, 63, of New Market, Maryland passed away unexpectedly on April 19, 2022.

He was born April 12, 1959, in Washington DC, he was the son of the late  John E. Potter II and Dorothy Mayer Potter.

John grew up and resided in Rockville Maryland and attended Montgomery College where studied Criminal Justice. He relocated to Frederick Maryland and became the owner and operator of Quality Transmissions.

In 2009, he embarked on a successful career in real estate. He quickly became a top producing sales associate and in 2019 he received his broker license. In 2020, John and Kim formed the Kimberly John Group of RE/MAX Results building a team of young, vibrant, and talented agents that quickly rose to success through John’s mentoring and  teaching.
John’s passion for teaching was also shown through his years of coaching boys’ football and basketball for Middle School in Middletown Maryland.

John was an avid golfer and he enjoyed playing with family and friends. He spent a week each year with his “band of brothers” golfing and reminiscing, laughing, and enjoying life. John loved riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle with the wind at his back and the sun in his face. John could fix anything and had the tools to do everything from turning a screw to renovating an entire home to perfection.  There were never problems but only solutions for John.

John’s beautiful smile, quick wit and gentle soul will be missed by so many.

John is survived by his fiancée, Kimberly Anselmo; son, John E Potter IV; daughter-in-law, Kristin Potter and their children, Olivia and Bryce Potter; his two sisters, Debbie Potter Green and Cindy Potter Hillis, one brother, Michael Potter and Kimberly's devoted son, Matthew Blue.
