Rudy John Porter

John Rudy Porter, 86, left this world to live happily ever after with his other loved ones and God on Saturday, August 1, 2020.

Rudy was a Korean War Veteran, serving four years in the Air Force.  He was a very special, kind, and loving man who will be truly missed by his family and friends.  He was a welder by trade and worked as a welding instructor at Sowela prior to his retirement.  Rudy loved dancing and was always twirling and swaying with Bonnie and Mary Lee.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his previous wife, Mary Lee Rush Porter.

Those left behind that loved Rudy dearly are his loving and dedicated wife, Bonnie (Savoie) David Porter; step-daughter, Patty Sibley Welch (Clint Welch, Jr.); step-son, Byron David (Cathy); sons, Anthony, Bryan, and Derrick Porter; and daughter, Katherine.  Bonnie, Patti and Clint loved Rudy with all of their heart and soul.

A private family graveside service with military honors will be at Prien Memorial Park at a later date, under the direction of Johnson Funeral Home.
