WEST FRANKFORT, IL- (William McPherson – West Frankfort Gazette. Click on the link to read the full story, and pick up a copy of the Gazette so you can keep this story for the future. Here is an excerpt) Ten years ago this week, the world lost a spiritual giant. Jerimy D. Porritt was just 21-years-old at the time of the car accident which took his life on Feb. 21, 2007. In those years, he served God as an aspiring pastor, worked as a youth advocate with at-risk teenagers, traveled the world as a missionary who spread the Gospel in multiple continents. Of all those titles though, the one he cherished most was simply, “Friend of God.” Jerimy was born in Carbondale on March 26, 1985 to Jerry and Beth Porritt. “He was always caring, always wanting to help somebody,” his mother Beth said of his early years.
