Charles Denver Porterfield, 49, died Sunday, June 25, 2006, following a 
courageous two-year battle with cancer.

Born in Royston, he was the son of the late Denver and Mattie Porterfield. He 
was a loving husband and father who appreciated every day, according to loved 
ones. He was a member of the Evangelical Methodist Church and a member of the 
Royston Masonic Lodge.

He had an interest in law enforcement, beginning at an early age, and 
encountered his first experience while employed as a radio dispatcher for the 
Royston Police Department. He later served the citizens of Royston as a police 
officer and as an emergency medical technician. Mr. Porterfield then joined 
the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department as a road deputy. Later, while 
serving 22 years within the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, he 
advanced to the position of sergeant, where the main emphasis of his work was 
with the drug and vice unit.

Survivors include his wife, Sandra Sexton Porterfield; sons, Denver 
Porterfield and Dallas Porterfield; sister and brother-in-law, Stephanie and 
Dwain Brown; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Buddy and Irene Sexton; sisters-
in-law and brothers-in-law, Marie and Mike Fowler, Patricia and Morris 
Fortson; and many other lives that he had touched.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, June 28, at the Evangelical Methodist 
Church with the Revs. Greg Jordan and Tim Peek officiating. Burial was in the 
Rose Hill Cemetery.

Pallbearers were Jerry Stewart, Joe Williams, Frank Smith, Tim Parker, Bob 
Hollingsworth, Paul Brown, Fred Pulliam, and Terry Walls.
