Kevin Porter

Kevin Alberto Porter was a 43-year-old man whose life was rooted in Long Beach. Public records identify him by full name and date of birth (July 12, 1978), and local reporting places him among the people who lived and moved through the city’s waterfront neighborhoods. Those who saw him along the shoreline and near the marina knew a familiar figure of the city’s coastal edges — someone whose daily life touched the same streets and piers where Long Beach’s community comes together.

Though public sources about Kevin emphasize only a few verifiable facts, they make clear that he was a real person with a life in Long Beach. He is identified in official Los Angeles County records and in local news coverage as a 43-year-old city resident. For people who shared the shoreline and nearby public spaces, his presence was part of the neighborhood’s texture: the ordinary, human detail that gives a place its character.

Kevin’s family, friends, and neighbors who remember him will carry the specifics of who he was — his quiet ways, the small kindnesses, the stories told in person — even when those memories are not recorded in public notices. The public record is limited, but it should not erase the fact that Kevin lived, belonged to a community, and mattered to people who knew him.

He is remembered here with respect and care. Though his life ended too soon, what remains are the small human traces: the places he frequented, the city he called home, and the people who will continue to remember him privately. This page honors Kevin Alberto Porter as a person first, remembered for his place in the fabric of Long Beach and the lives of those who knew him.
