Adrian Jashawn Porter was born to Nicole Taylor and Adrian Porter on October 9, 1996 in Decatur, Alabama. He confessed faith in Christ at the age of eight years old and remained a faithful member of Moulton Heights M.B. Church. 

“AJ” graduated from Austin High School in 2016.  During his time there he was a member of the Black Bears Football Team and Track Team.  He also participated in JROTC for a short time.  While attending Moulton Heights he was a faithful member of the choir and eventually started working in the sound room.  During his high school years he was employed at Sonic’s Drive-In on 6th Avenue until spring 2017. After graduating he got a second job at Walmart Neighborhood Market where he made many friends and had such an impact on so many strangers.  Adrian possessed a beautiful, infectious smile, and a kind generous heart.  He had such a sweet spirit; to know him was to love him.
