Obituary of Reginald "Reggie" Porter

REGINALD PORTER, JR. Reginald Porter Jr., better known as “Reggie”, was born on March 6, 1994 (on the day of the Los Angeles Marathon that year) to parents Reginald Porter Sr. and Tracy L. Cheatham. He attended West Adams Preparatory High School. His employment history includes a plumber's assistant during the summer when he was younger, telemarketing, several security officer positions, and his most recent employer was Staples Center/Microsoft Theatre for the past 5 years. Lots of fond memories of the sporting events and concerts he ushered for over that time period. I know he will be missed. Reggie touched so many lives during his short time of 27 years. His smile will forever be in our hearts. Reggie accepted Jesus Christ at an early age and was a member of the True Zion Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Pastor Major D. Lovett. On Sunday, May 2nd, 2021 Reggie was called home early. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Maurice Porter Sr. and Gloria Jean Porter, his great grandmother Lillie Mae Norwood, uncle Charles “Charlie” Cheatham, his aunt Riley Ortega, and recently joined by his uncle Maurice “Ressie” Porter Jr. He leaves to cherish his loving memories; his parents Reginald Porter, Sr. and Tracy L.

One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints. This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. \"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.\" He whispered, \"My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.\"
