He ultimately found his calling in maintenance at Piedmont Petroleum, where he retired after many years of hard work. His dedication to his jobs and co-workers was a testament to his strong work ethic and commitment. When he wasn’t working at one his places of employment, you could usually find him painting, where he had a meticulous eye for detail.

He is survived by his two daughters, Carol Sloan (Tony) of Piedmont, and Elizabeth Brownell (Alan) of Troutman, NC; his son, Shane Porter (Jennifer) of Liberty, his precious grandchildren, Codie Sloan (Meagan Sikes, fiancé), Mackenzie and Katelyn Porter, two sisters, Bobbie Abercrombie of Pickens, and Sallie Sowell (Lynn) of Anderson.
