Ronald Porter
February 26, 1937 - February 20, 2015Ronald “Ron” Porter passed away on Friday, February 20, 2015, at the Boone County Hospital in Boone, Iowa. Graveside services will take place later this spring at Linden Lutheran Cemetery near Thompson, Iowa.
Ron was born in Topeka, Kansas, on February 26, 1937, to Laurence and Armilla Porter. He met his high school sweetheart, Janice Burkhard, while attending Evergreen High School in Colorado. They married in August of 1955 and were blessed with two children, Shane and Lisa.
Ron had many occupations throughout his life from delivering library books to building houses, but he had a real passion for woodworking. He, even, started a business, Country Collection, designing and building primitive furniture.
His hobbies included hunting, fishing, and camping with his family and friends. He, also, enjoyed reading and watching CNN and Westerns. An avid Denver Broncos fan and a long-time member of the NRA, Ron, however, loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren the most.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Laurence and Armilla; his twin brother, Donald; his brothers, Vernon and Delmar; his wife, Janice; and his son, Shane.
Ron will be greatly missed by his daughter, Lisa (and her special friend Jim), his grandsons: Joel (April), Luke, Travis, Andy (Alicea), and Jason; and his great-grandchildren, Morrison and Nora.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be designated to the family in Ron’s name and can be left at or mailed to: Lisa Porter, 1901 1st Street, Lot 34, Boone, Iowa 50036
