Walter J. Weed, 77, passed away on Friday, Aug. 12, 2016, at his home in Bear Valley Springs. He was cremated at Woods Funeral Home in Tehachapi. Interment and a memorial service are planned for the near future. His ashes will be buried at the military cemetery in Arvin.
Walt was born in North Hollywood in 1939, to Murl Evelyn Weed and Stanley Leland Weed (aka Bob Baker, the singing cowboy). Both preceded him in death. He was raised in Wickenburg, Ariz., and graduated from Wickenburg High School. After high school, Walt joined the Army and after a brief stint at the Pentagon, he served his country as an illustrator-draftsman in Heilbronn, Germany.
Upon discharge from the Army, Walt lived in Alaska for four years, before moving back to California, where he met his wife, Arlene, who survives him. Walt and Arlene lived in Camarillo for 32 years, where they raised Arlene’s daughter, Michelle, and their son, Gary (both also surviving him). They moved to Bear Valley in 2001 and built their dream house. Together they traveled the world, and their love story lasted for almost 49 years.
Walt retired from American Golf, Inc., where he was a supervisor of golf cart maintenance, but he never lost his love for golf. Walt was a fixture at the Bear Valley Springs Golf Course for many years.
For those who choose to make a charitable donation in remembrance, the American Cancer Association, or a similar type of organization, would be suitable.
