Help JR's Family Through Tragic Loss

Donation protected

I'm creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my sister, who on Sunday, 11/2/2025, lost her partner, Ronald Porrin Jr. (known lovingly as JR), in a terrible accident. While hauling 80 tons of sand for his employer, D.L. King Transport (in the state of West Virginia), the rear tires of the semi-truck he was driving locked up, causing him to lose control and ultimately ended his life. He leaves behind 4 daughters, my sister, and her other two children whom he loved as his own. Any little bit would help to provide him a proper memorial service and to provide financial relief for any other expenses during this tragic and devastating time. Viewing at Leo Nedza Funeral home in Dubois, PA on Sunday 3-5pm with a service to follow.

Thank you to all who have read, donated, prayed and shared. Your support during this time means more than can be explained. God Bless!
