In Loving Memory of Clifton James Porter, Sr.
November 7, 1942 – March 17, 2026
With deep love and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Clifton James Porter, Sr., 83, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, who departed this life on March 17, 2026.
Clifton was truly extraordinary—a man whose strength, wisdom, and presence shaped the lives of everyone who knew him. He was a devoted and loving husband of 49 years to Paulette Porter, a partnership built on enduring love, respect, and commitment.
He was a proud and dedicated father to Clifton J. Porter, II, (Deborah), Jonathan Porter, (Candice), and Amanda Porter, and a cherished grandfather to Chanel Floyd, (Samuel), Christian Porter, Clifton Joseph Porter, Jacob Stewart, Edward Stewart, Maya Porter, and Ava Porter. His love for his family was unwavering, and his legacy lives on through each of them.
Clifton will be remembered for his character, his guidance, and the deep love he poured into his family. His life leaves an indelible mark—one of strength, dignity, and love that will never be forgotten.
