Obituary - David Porter
And to really celebrate his life they ask that you wear jeans, a pocket tee, a flannel shirt, your favorite sports team gear, boots or Converse all-stars. And bring your favorite David Porter story to tell.
Burial will take place at a later date. Memorial contributions can be made to the GVMH Hospice or the Truman Lake Youth Baseball Association and may be left in care of the funeral home.
David Porter was born on August 30, 1952 in Independence, Missouri to Lonnie and Nadine Porter. He was raised on a small dairy farm. He graduated from Chilhowee High School in 1970.
He is survived by his wife Brenda Porter of Clinton, Missouri, daughters Heather Tackett and Amanda (Dustin ) Himes and his pride and joy, his grandkids: Drew Tackett (17), Haskell Himes (13), Caroline Himes (11), and Margaret Himes (9), his sisters Shirl McMullen and Kris Swope and his brother Doug (Karen) Porter.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Jim.
David was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan. He loved to share all of his knowledge of Cardinals history and his thoughts on the coaching staff or line-up. He loved the great outdoors and would rather be outside than anywhere else. He loved bird hunting but even more than bird hunting he loved to watch his dog “work”. He loved his Britney Spaniels and loved to train them to hunt.
He proudly served the community as the owner operator of Dave Porter Ditching. He was always a phone call away for any job that needed done. His customers have all became friends over the years. There wasn’t anything that he would not do for a friend or neighbor.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Vansant-Mills Funeral Home in Clinton, Missouri.
