Tori Potter

Tori Potter, a beloved companion and cherished friend, departed from this world on October 9, 2025, in Dothan, Alabama. Born on December 5, 2010, Tori transformed the lives of those around her with her loving spirit and playful antics.

Tori was not just a pet; she was the heart of her home, originally bestowed upon Mike’s family by his late mother, who knew well the love and joy Tori would bring. Despite already being a household filled with four lively birds, Mike and Denise honored this special request and welcomed Tori into their lives. This furry angel quickly became an inseparable part of the family, forging a deep bond with her feathered siblings and bringing warmth to their daily lives.

Known for her gentle yet punctual personality, Tori had a unique way of expressing her affection. She relished her midday naps with Mike, finding contentment in curled-up companionship. However, she also took her role quite seriously, ensuring that mornings began on time with a playful nudge—knocking glasses off the nightstand to rouse anyone who wasn’t already awake.

Throughout their journeys across Florida and Alabama, Tori’s love only grew stronger, leaving paw prints on the hearts of her family. Her joyful presence brought an abundance of love and laughter to all the residents of her home. She was a luminous spirit, whose playful interactions with her avian siblings showcased her ability to bring together an eclectic family bound by love.

Tori will be deeply missed by her devoted pet parents, Mike and Denise, who cherished every moment spent with her. The bond they shared transcended beyond that of a pet and owner; she was a loyal friend, a source of comfort, and a beacon of joy. Tori's feathered companions will also remember her fondly, as their African Grey Parrot still continuously calls Tori's name looking for her, for they had navigated the world together, creating memories that will last in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

As we reflect on Tori’s life, we honor the love she shared and the happiness she imparted to everyone fortunate enough to cross her path. Her spirit will forever linger in the hearts of those who loved her—a gentle reminder of the unconditional love that animals bring into our lives. Rest in peace, dear Tori. You have left paw prints on our hearts that will never fade.
