 | Jan Porter has passed away at the age of 60. Jan was one of fishing’s most recognisable personalities, respected for his many achievements in various branches of the sport. Jan always had a smile on his face and was an inspiration for thousands of anglers who enjoyed his TV and written work over four decades. |
Announcing the news on Jan’s Facebook page, his wife Melanie posted: “It is with much sadness to say that my gorgeous, wonderful, loving husband and father to Sam and Danielle, Jan, passed away yesterday evening. After battling cancer for the past 3.5 years he managed to hang on for 2 years longer than expected through sheer determination and passion for life.”
Melanie added: “Jan's wish is to have a very private quiet funeral and in his words ‘If Bowie can do it, so can I’ – please respect this. Much love and may he be up there fishing with his dad, Terry now xxx”
