Our family is blessed for Dave’s having lived among us and so very sad for his having passed before us. For so many reasons, Dave was an inspiration to all who knew him. Of course, surviving and conquering a crippling accident; establishing himself with dignity and accomplishment in his chosen career; being a devoted husband, father and grandfather figure, brother, and friend; possessing great knowledge, respect, and humor; accepting his trials, especially in these last few years; and being the calm in the storms of life are among many of his fine traits. We might also mention his handsome looks and his classy demeanor.

David L. (Dave) Walters, 69, of Phoenix, died August 29, 2019, at Adriana’s Round-the-Clock in Glendale. He was born April 23, 1950, in Hays, Kansas, to Cyril and Catherine (Billinger) Walters.

He was a graduate of St. Joseph Military Academy Class of 1968, Emporia State University, and Arizona State University. His career in Phoenix was in Hospital Administration in the BannerHealth System.

Dave is survived by his wife Diana of Phoenix; his brother Arlen (Muriel) Walters of Las Vegas, NV; and his sister Kathleen (Darrel) Ochs of Gypsum, CO. Also surviving are two stepsons, a nephew and a niece and their families, and numerous cousins, friends and colleagues.

A celebration of Dave’s life is scheduled for October 12 at 11:00 a.m. at Phoenix Memorial Park, 200 West Beardsley in Phoenix. A reception/lunch will follow at the same location.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Dave’s memory to Hospice of the Valley; Ability 360 (an organization to assist people with disabilities to achieve independent living) at 5025 East Washington St., Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85034; or TMP-Marian High School at 1701 Hall Street, Hays, KS 67601.
