Porter Garrette Obituary
Born on May 30, 1973, in Washington, D.C., Garrette embodied strength and determination throughout his life. For the past 3 years, he faced a courageous battle with cancer, demonstrating unwavering resilience and a steadfast commitment to his family.
Garrette is survived by his devoted wife of over 18 years, Carey Porter, whose love and support were a constant source of strength. He was a proud father to Shae, Ayden, Tiara, and Abreauna, who will forever cherish his memory. He also found immense joy in being a grandfather to Jaxon Kash, his first grandson. Garrette shared a special bond with his daughter-in-law, Katie, whose dedication to their family was deeply valued. Garrette is also survived by his mother Gladys Garnett and siblings, Michael Garnett, Lynn, Merriam & Kevin Porter
Garrette will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will be held on January 4, 2025, at Ruthsburg Community Center, located at 105 Damsontown Road, Queen Anne, MD 21657, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
