Tony Wendell Porter, Sr., age 70, passed away on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at his home surrounded by his family.  He was born on February 21, 1955, to the late Hulon and Mary Margaret “Petie” Porter.

Tony was of the Baptist faith and was baptized at a young age at Grace Baptist Church. After retirement, he worked for Blocker Farms, where he especially enjoyed produce season and visiting with all his customers at “The Tent” and “The Crib.” He was also a proud 32nd Degree Mason and a member of Western Star Lodge #9.
