On August 5, 2020, Joe Don Porter, 62, of Cambridge, Nebraska, passed away at his residence. September 24, 1957, saw the birth of Walter Elmer and Willie Estell Barber Porter in Waurika, Oklahoma. Joe Don was a student in Jefferson County, Oklahoma, and he graduated from Waurika High School in 1976.
For over twenty years, he operated twin-engine dirt scrapers, Caterpillars, and other heavy machinery for construction companies. Joe Don’s body suffered from years of running construction equipment, so in 2001 he relocated to McCook, Nebraska, where he worked as a machine operator at Valmont until 2016 when he was forced to retire due to health concerns. He loved to run a swather for his close pals during dull periods and off-seasons.
Purchasing tiny gifts for his pals and taking his truck along B Street were two of Joe’s favourite pastimes. Joe was a unique individual who had the affection of all those who knew him. He would frequently discuss “the good old days” and going fishing with his father.
He had a sharp mind and was always prepared to respond to inquiries. In accordance with Joe’s desires, cremation was selected, and there won’t be a service. Comforting remarks can be left by friends at lockenour.com. Donations in Joe’s honour are accepted at Lockenour-Jones Mortuary. Making arrangements is entrusted to Lockenour-Jones Mortuary.
