IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Albert Gene
Porter
February 18, 1946 – June 15, 2017
Obituary
Albert Gene Porter was born on February 18, 1946 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He was the sixth of twelve children born to Robert Arthur and Fannie Elizabeth [Jackson] Porter.
Although Albert was born with a physical disability, he demonstrated often that what shaped him most weren't his circumstances, but how he chose to react to them. He always received the support of his family. He knew that his dreams could not become reality through magic and that it would take determination and hard work to become successful.
Albert was educated by homebound teachers in grades first through eighth. After reaching high school, he was educated by a telecommunications system linking his home to Manual Training High School. He became a proud graduate of the Manual Training High School Class of 1964. After high school, Albert and his dad worked on televisions and were remembered as the technicians that repaired everyone's television around the neighborhood.
Albert continued to be an avid reader and loved politics, as well as other news stories. He was currently following the presidential administration in office now. He was also a big Oklahoma Sooner football fan and was just waiting on the season in anticipation of what it would be like with a new coach.
Living in his new home was a big relief for Albert and he loved the restoration and new decorations by his sister, Jeanette Ceasar, allowing for more time for regular conversations. He also loved spirited talks with his brothers Dennis and Jerry, nephew Victor Caesar and his friend, William Syrus, Sr. He often talked about how the friendship and love of these individuals meant so much to him.
After a brief illness, Albert Gene Porter, in his 71st year, passed away on June 15, 2017 in the comfort of his own home. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Fannie Porter; his sisters, Alice Hitchye, and LaVerne Owens; his brothers, Robert Porter, Jr., Raymond Porter, Sr., and Phillip Porter.
Remaining to cherish his memory; his siblings, Jerry Porter, Benicia, California, Jeanette Ceasar, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Maria Rowland, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Michael Porter, Benicia California, Dennis Porter, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Phyllis Porter, Muskogee, Oklahoma; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and caretakers.
A Memorial Ceremony will be shared on Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 10:30 AM in The Chapel of Remembrance at the funeral home in Muskogee.
Brother Eric Rodgers, Pastor of the 18th & Denison Church of Christ will officiate.
