family.
Niagara Advance
No one knows exactly how
long Porter Irving was in the
frigid water Tuesday evening
before his friends noticed he
was missing.
One minute he was playing
on the ice off the beach at
Ryerson Park with a group of
boys from his Chautauqua
neighbourhood, the next, his
friends realized they couldn’t
find him and raced to tell his
dad, Ian Irving.
His mother, Deanna
Simpson Irving, was in
Calgary on business.
As his parents grieved in
their Dixie Avenue home
aunt, Jennifer Simpson, spoke
on their behalf.
Porter was an "action man.”
A middle child, he was
always out to slay dragons,
liked to sword-fight, and play
with his favourite Yu-Gi-Oh
cards, a Japanese collectible
card game.
He was also a cuddler who
loved family gatherings. He
liked to ride his bike, cheer on
the Ottawa Senators with his
dad, and cook roasted pota¬
toes with his mom.
He was a much-loved child.
But Tuesday he was doing
what kids in the neighbour¬
hood do, even when warned
by their parents to stay off the
ice, says local Tom Braybrook.

For a newcomer to town
