Theron Jason Poteet

Theron Jason Poteet, 27, of Morganton, NC passed away Thursday, April 7, 2022. Born June 4, 1994 in Burke County, NC he was the son of Travis Jason Poteet and Tammy Carol Head Parlier.

Theron served in the United States Army for three years, stationed at several locations in Louisiana and Texas. He returned home in 2020 with a renewed love for his family and the Lord. He was an active member of Amherst Baptist Church. He served on the youth council and maintenance committees. Theron was also a faithful member of the men’s brotherhood, but perhaps his most important role was working with the children. His infectious smile and wonderful sense of humor touched both young and old. Theron loved spending time outdoors by playing golf, fishing, hiking, and camping. He lived life to the fullest. Family time was very important to Theron. He was not afraid to share his thoughts and feelings. Theron loved with all of his heart and made sure he told everyone! Whether you were friend or family, he always left you by saying, “love ya.” May his life be an example to everyone. Be sure you let those you love know it. Theron left us too soon, but will always be in our heart.
