LaMar A. Potts born Jan. 17, 1941, to Albert C. and Elsie Jane Potts, passed away peacefully April 16, 2023. LaMar graduated from Olympus High School and joined the United State Army and the Utah National Guard where he was honorably discharged. Thereafter, he was employed by EIMCO, Hercules Aerospace Company, and South Valley Specialties. In recent years LaMar enjoyed spending most of his time camping with his family.
LaMar spent many years coaching Little League Baseball and drag racing on the Killer Bee Racing Team where he created many lifelong friendships. After retirement he and his wife Elizabeth (Liz) spent their winters as volunteers at the Lake Mead National Recreation area and the summer as Camp Hosts at the Gooseberry Campground.
LaMar is survived by his wife of 60 years, Liz; and children, Suzanne and Brandon; sister, Carolyn Wilson; and grandchildren, Brandon L.J., Matthew, Kolton, and Lexie; his dog, Ozzie; and many nieces and nephews.
The family will hold a celebration of life later this summer at LaMar’s favorite place, the Gooseberry property.
