Gary Wayne Porter, 57, of Moreland passed away on Wednesday, September 2, 2020.  Born February 23, 1963, he was the son of the late Glenn Porter and the late Phyllis Porter Letner.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Vanessa Cochran Porter; daughter, Cassie (Denver) Scott of Danville; son, Kyle Porter of Burgin; three grandchildren, Tucker Scott, Landon Scott, and Jane Heidi Porter; brother, Paul (Tammy) Porter of Liberty; two sisters, Paula Lane of Nancy and Sandra Henninger of Liberty.  Gary is also survived by several beloved aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Most of his life, Gary was a general contractor and built houses for many families across central Kentucky.  His customers always closed the deal with a beautiful home and a lifelong friend.  He took pride in providing them with all of their desired "extras" because he loved to take care of others.  We find peace in knowing that he is now happily building mansions in heaven.

Gary was a loyal member of Gum Lick Christian Church.  His greatest joy in life was being married to his best friend for over 38 years.  His greatest pride in life was his kids.

Pall bearers will be Doug Ellis, Larry Stafford, Mike Lawhorn, Johnny Reed, Gary Mrzywka, and Jeff Lawhorn.  Honorary pall bearers are his nieces, nephews, cousins, and the men of Gum Lick Christian Church.

Visitation will be held from 5-8 pm on Friday at W.L. Pruitt Funeral Home in Moreland.  Funeral service will be Saturday at 11 am at the funeral home by Bro. Steve Martin.  Burial will be in Gum Lick Christian Church Cemetery.  Memorial contributions are suggested to Gum Lick Cemetery, c/o Chris Shoopman, 192 Peyton Cemetery Road, Liberty, KY 42539.  A guestbook is available at www.wlpruitt.com .
