Andrew N. Porritt
Andy passed away unexpectedly Monday, February 24, 2020 at his home in Otsego.
He was born May 11, 1958 in Pontiac, the son of Donald and Mary (Nixon) Porritt. Andy was a hard worker with an impeccable work ethic and had spent his entire life in sales. In his free time he enjoyed fishing, brewing craft beer, working on his lawn and garden, bowling, and soaking up the sun. Andy was skilled in the kitchen and was known for his cheesecakes.
Andy was a Christian and close to God. He exuded kindness, humor, and made it a point to make people feel welcome in his presence. He loved a good debate, was proud to show off his Jeopardy skills while watching television with his family, and he enjoyed reading books that fed his curiosity to know more about history, nature, politics, and public figures. Most of all, Andy loved people. He took such pride in building relationships with the clients he helped over the years, oftentimes remembering their families, milestones, and interests. He made it a point to foster family traditions, Sunday dinners, and to say ‘I Love You’ to his kids whenever he ended a phone call, text, or a visit. And he was so proud and fond of the family of friends he and Pam had the pleasure of building throughout their lives.
On July 20, 1985 in Grosse Point he married Pamela Placidi who survives. Also surviving are his children, Megan (Matt) Gernaat of Cooper Township and Drew (Kelsee Caton) Porritt of Plainwell; grandchildren, Giana and Doutzen Gernaat; siblings, Charles Porritt, Matt Porritt and Bill (Diana) Porritt along with his nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and step-parents, Nick and Carol.
According to his wishes cremation has taken place.
Friends may visit with Andy’s family starting at 1:00 P.M., Friday, February 28, 2020 at the Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego, until the time of the memorial service at 3:00 P.M., with Fr. Rick Stravers officiating.
Andy loved animals, especially his dogs. In lieu of flowers contributions in memory of Andy may be made to the animal charity of your choice or to
Christian Neighbors.

We loved Andy! He was the father of one my son’s best friend during middle school and high school. I knew Matthew was loved and safe when visiting Drew and even found his home a refuge when he was driving me crazy. Andy loved the water and we often chatted when he took the boat out. Bob always brought Andy special beer when we visited Green Bay. He loved to stop and chat while we walked our dog. Although his dogs were always very well trained and ours trained Bob, Andy never failed to love up the dog and even got her to behave for him. When my brother died, I went to their home to get help with out-of-town flowers, Pam and Andy welcomed me and comforted me. Every time we walk the dog since they left Southgate Dr., I have missed him and his beautiful yard. You will be remembered Andy in our hearts and in our prayers. As will your family.

Dear Pam, Megan & Drew, family & friends,
Andy was a great friend and neighbor on Southgate Drive. We would often see Andy walking his dogs, working on his beautiful yard, sharing his brewed beer or going out in the pontoon to fish. A fond memory of Andy that I will never forget was shortly after my first husband passed, 10 years ago, Andy brought flowers to me on Valentine’s day. Prayers for comfort to All! Andy will be deeply missed.

Andy and I worked together at AT&T for a long time. Andy was always so kind and personable. We would talk about our landscaping/gardening/house projects just about every day. He loved to go fishing with Billy L, and they were always cracking up at the office! He truly cared about people. He remembered things about friends and would ask about your family because he genuinely cared. We used to laugh all the time together as he was light hearted. We kept in touch and Andy sent the most touching Christmas letters/cards and emails. Such a wonderful man!

I was saddened to learn of Andy’s departure and I hope to see him in heaven. The time of family reunions with him were always enjoyable. And since I enjoyed Andy immensely, I am sure that your loss of Andy as father, husband and friend, and confidant is felt very deeply. I realize you have lost a blessing from God in your life together with him. And, I pray that the Father of mercies will continue to bless you all in Christ so that would find immense comfort, encouraging strength, and soothing peace in your soul that comes with Jesus Christ’s resurrection victory as you carry on in these forthcoming months and years. In Christ’s enveloping love for you all,

Dear Pam , family and friends;
God’s healing presence continue to sustain you through your loss.
I was surprised to hear of my cousin’s passing. Too soon. I remember the last time we shared contact was at his father’s funeral. He gave tender care, support and love for my dear Uncle Don. I enjoyed his out reach with e-mail until he had trouble with the e-mail connection.
I’ve enjoyed hearing of his caring life through this sharing – thank you all.
He is carrying on with his giving heart in God’s heavenly outreach service. I look forward to seeing him again.
Susan Vernon: daughter of Jo-Ann Porritt Vernon

Pam,
So sorry to hear about Andy. Always enjoyed talking plants and flowers with him. I have plants from him in my yard and they will always remind me of him. He was just a really nice guy. May God comfort all of you in your loss.

So sorry to learn of Andy’s passing. I have fond childhood memories of my cousin at Porritt family reunions. May your memories bring you comfort and peace of heart now and through the days ahead.

I was saddened to learn of Andy’s departure and I hope to see him in heaven. The time of family reunions with him were always enjoyable. And since I enjoyed Andy immensely, I am sure that your loss of Andy as father, husband and friend, and confidant is felt very deeply. I realize you have lost a blessing from God in your life together with him. And, I pray that the Father of mercies will continue to bless you all in Christ so that would find immense comfort, encouraging strength, and soothing peace in your soul that comes with Jesus Christ’s resurrection victory as you carry on in these forthcoming months and years. In Christ’s enveloping love for you all,
Stephen

Dear Pam , family and friends;
God’s healing presence continue to sustain you through your loss.
I was surprised to hear of my cousin’s passing. Too soon. I remember the last time we shared contact was at his father’s funeral. He gave tender care, support and love for my dear Uncle Don. I enjoyed his out reach with e-mail until he had trouble with the e-mail connection.
I’ve enjoyed hearing of his caring life through this sharing – thank you all.
He is carrying on with his giving heart in God’s heavenly outreach service. I look forward to seeing him again.
