We are heartbroken to share the news of the unfortunate passing of our beloved Alvene Lydale Porter on September 8 at 4:45 PM EST. Alvene was a loving husband, father, grandpa, son, brother, uncle, and cousin who filled our lives with joy and energy. His vibrant spirit and kindness touched everyone around him, and his loss has left an unimaginable void in our hearts.

As we navigate this difficult time, we find ourselves in need of assistance to bring Alvene's body from Michigan back home to Kansas City. This will allow his family to say their final goodbyes and honor his memory in a place that meant so much to him.

We are hoping to have him flown back by the weekend, and any contribution, big or small, would mean the world to us. Your generosity will help us during this painful time and ensure that Alvene receives the farewell he deserves.

Thank you for your support and love. Together, we can celebrate Alvene's life and keep his spirit alive in our hearts.
