Jake Porter

Mr. Jake Porter, 29, of Ijamsville, died Thursday, February 18, 2021.

Born November 5, 1991, he was the son of Brooky Porter (Patty) and Linda Bushnell.

In addition to his parents, Jake is survived by his siblings, Marshall Porter, Brian Porter and Melinda Cooper (Michael).  Jake leaves a hole in the hearts of many aunts and uncles and numerous cousins. Jake was also blessed with friends who loved him like family.

Jake never lost his warm and giving heart. His desire to help people led him to work as a nursing assistant,  emergency room tech and to volunteer as a firefighter and EMT. Most recently, Jake worked as a home health care provider for Josh Boyd, who quickly became a close friend. Anyone who knows and loves Jake will always speak of his kind heartedness and compassion.

Please join the family for food and drink at the Reisterstown Moose Lodge. 1101 Westminster Pike on Friday, February 26 at 6:00PM.
