George E Porter

George Porter of Henderson, Nevada passed Saturday, September 17, 2022. He was 60 years old and born a Cancer in 1962. He was surrounded with love from his family and friends, and his new granddaughter Emma, who made him smile with joy just before he crossed over to another realm of existence.

George was born in Oregon, yet, spent most of his life in Las Vegas where he cultivated family life after years of service in the Army and National Guard. He was dedicated to his two daughters, Katlyn and Mallory who never caused him a day of pain in his life. He left them to become confident and strong women and supported them with love.

George will be remembered for his sense of humor and irony, his bellowing laughter, his ability to decipher politics of the day, his patience for others, his love of dogs, cats and kids. He was passionate about his hobbies and had a love of games and strategic competition.

Winter evenings were filled with preparing for gaming by painstakingly painting miniature armies while researching historical material for authenticity in his art. He organized his friends to set up gaming parties which went on for days, where his friends played, drank, and argued about life and what matters most. He was a teacher, a man that was loved and respected in his time and may not have realized just how much he was loved.

George is survived, by his daughters, his wife Melinda, his cousin Alva Porter, and his other cousin Sherry Matheny, his sister Debra. All of us now have a deep hole in our hearts and pray for him, but without him, there is no fun.

A memorial service for George will be held Saturday, October 8, 2022 from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Palm Eastern Mortuary, 7600 S Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89123.
