Walter lived a long and very rewarding life with a huge family that loved and adored him. He was very involved in the community of Needville. Walter was a lifelong member of the Immanuel Evangelical Church, where he had served on the consistory. Walter was a member of the Needville Youth Fair where he served as a past President, and a Member of the Needville Lions Club. He was a past President of the Fort Bend Chapter of the Texas Farmers Union and a member of Woodman of the World. Walter was also an Honorary member of the Needville FFA.

Walter moved to Fort Bend County as a young boy where he attended Richmond High School and met his future wife Juanita. Walters life long work was farming rice and ranching but in his spare time he enjoyed hunting with his family.

In his later years his biggest enjoyment was sharing stories with family and friends in the Needville community about his family history in the LeBleu settlement on the Louisiana Bayou.

Due to the COVID-19 Circumstances, the family has decided to have a private burial with a celebration of life at later date. Serving as Pallbearers and Honorary Pallbearers will be his grandsons and great grandsons.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Immanuel Evangelical Church Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 505, Needville, TX 77461 .
