Luke Porterfield Obituary

WALNUT – Luke Bryan Porterfield, beloved newborn son of Bryan and Chasity Talley Porterfield, received his angel wings on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015, at Regional One Health in Memphis. He was the twin brother of Samuel Porterfield and the baby brother of Gracey Porterfield.
A private family service is planned for today, Oct. 23, with Minister Kenny James officiating. Interment will be in Marlow Church of Christ Cemetery in Walnut. The Ripley Funeral Home is in care of the arrangements.
Besides his parents, twin brother and sister, he leaves grandparents, Clifford and Lisa Porterfield of Walnut, and Bobby and Anita Talley of Falkner; two aunts; one uncle; and two cousins.
This world for you was not to be and taken by the hand...by God, who wrote your life for you, ""an angel as I had planned.""
