Wilford Joseph Porche, Jr. (Boogie)

July 20, 1945 – May 22, 2022

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but unto all of them also that love His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4: 7-8.

Our beloved Husband, Daddy, Grandfather, and Brother lost his battle with cancer after a courageous fight. He was a kind and gentle soul that only saw the best in everyone. He retired from Asbestos Workers Local 53 at the young age of 42. He then went to work for the Pointe Coupee Sherrif’s Department, serving as Warden for many years, retiring as Captain. Will served 4 active years in the National Guard, and 2 years inactive.

He is survived by his loving wife, Kimberly; children, Mandy (David), and Kevin; grandson, Bradley (Addie); great-grandchildren, Maddyn and Briggs; siblings, Barbara (Gilbert), Brenda (Jimmy), Peggy, Beverly, Jeff (Darlene), and Randy; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his son, Shane; parents, Mary Agnes and Wilford Porche, Sr.; grandparents, Alberica and Noelia Porche, and Lelio and Ida Mix.
