Obituary of Tom Walters

Ronald Thomas “Tom” Walters Jr., a beautiful, humble, and loving man will be extremely missed. He was born to Priscilla Anne Kendrick and Ronald Walters Sr on August 22, 1962 in Trenton, Michigan. On June 30, 2023, Tom, a person of great faith, left this earth unexpectedly, in his home, to reunite with God. In his youth he enjoyed playing baseball and getting into shenanigans with his sisters, cousins, and friends. He possessed a particular protective trait that left his sisters feeling safe when they were vulnerable. His passion for The Beatles was so strong he was able to inspire a whole new generation of The Beatles enthusiasts with those he loved. On any given day, one would often find him with his wife drinking his coffee and reading his bible, playing his bass or calling family and friends. His ability to keep in contact with those he loved was endearing. 

Tom’s bright and delightful essence permeated the hearts of those that were honored enough to know him. His laugh and smile will never be forgotten as they sit in the forefront of our memories. No words will ever be able to sum up his spirit, his life, his significance, his vibrance.

He is survived by his loving wife, Peggy Walters (Addis), his children, Chaz Walters (Josie), Phillip Walters, Ross Walters, and Christia Abell (Matthew), his grandchildren, Zachary Kitzke, Ethan Walters, Colton Walters, Addisyn Walters, Jaxon Ingram, and Houston Abell, his mother, Priscilla Anne Kendrick-Durkee (Jim), Ronald Thomas Walters Sr. (Marian), his Stepmother, Barbara Berheim, his sisters, Rhoda Johnson (Alan), Pamela Clark (C. Duane), and Stephanie Crain (Bryon), his nieces and nephews, Linda Lewis, Stephen Lewis, Meara Clark, Joseph Clark, Sandra Clark, Clayton Crain, and Sydney Crain, his step-sister, Chris Woolridge and step-niece, Melissa McReynolds.
