In August of 2006, Anthony attended Auto-Diesel College in Nashville, TN and graduated May 11, 2007 concentrating in the area of Collision Repair and Refinishing technology. Anthony joined Spring Hill Baptist Church early in life, and actively participated in the choir and was a drill team member for many years. Anthony loved music and especially found joy in Rapping when he sometimes made up lyrics on the spur of the moment. He also loved telling jokes and funny stories and could make you roll over with laughter. With his sense of humor, he was a delight to be around during those times. Loved ones who remain to cherish precious memories are his devoted and caring parents; Joan Elizabeth and Lowrinzy (“Pike”) Hull of Cuba, Alabama; two brothers, Andropolous (Natosha) Porter and Christopher Hull, both of Atlanta, GA., two sisters – Shayla Hull (Lewis) Little of Meridian, MS and Amanda Tanksley of Cuba, Alabama along with numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and many other relatives and friends who will truly miss Anthony. To the entire Porter Family, we at Weatherly Funeral Home, offer to each of you our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy and condolences. Our prayer remains that your abiding faith in God will lend to you a measure of comfort to strengthen and sustain you during your time of most profound sorrow.
