Obituary

Gregory Darren Porter
(December 3, 1939 - January 21, 2021)

GREGORY DARREN PORTER, 81, of Barboursville, W.Va., went home to be with the Lord on January 21, 2021. Funeral services will be conducted at 3:30 p.m. January 23, 2021 at Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel, Barboursville. Rev. Dan Londeree, Pea Ridge Baptist Church, will be leading the service. Burial will follow at Baylous Cemetery in Salt Rock, W.Va. Visitation will be from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville, prior to the service. Greg was married to the wonderful, late Earlisee (Berry) Porter of Salt Rock, WV. Greg is one of eight siblings (five brothers, one twin brother Gary, one sister) of the late Gilbert and Ever Porter of Salt Rock, WV. He is survived by his two children, Kim (Greg) Villars, Brian (Carol) Porter, granddaughter Hannah (Andrew) Carter, granddaughter Meagan (Anthony) Zentner, and four great- grandchildren (Karl, Kate, Kurt, Karsen Zentner) all of Barboursville, and a grandson, Cameron Porter, of Denver, CO. He has another grandson, Nathan Andrew Porter, waiting on him in heaven. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He had a wonderful life and will be missed terribly. He was born Dec 3, 1939. He played football for the Marshall Thundering Herd, on full scholarship, from 1957-1961. He worked with the Chinese (ESL) which he thoroughly enjoyed at Highlawn Baptist Church. He loved church mission trips to Africa working with Thomas Brown of Atlanta, GA. He was a crew leader for World Changers at Highlawn Baptist Church, making improvements on homes in the Huntington area, in the name of Jesus Christ. He was incredible at loving on his family, always selfless, and he was witty and loved to laugh. He was a ham radio enthusiast. He loved playing musical instruments (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and banjo) and loved his buddy and teacher Bobby Maynard. He was a retired teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal and ended his career as Transportation Director for Cabell County Schools. He was a member of the Pea Ridge Baptist Church. Pallbearers are Cameron Porter, Anthony Zentner, Danny Porter, Dwight Porter, Robbie Porter and Andrew Carter. We plan to observe social distancing and masks policies for the safety of all those friends and family who have shown so much love for us.
