Timothy Walter Obituary

Timothy Michael Walter June 26, 2022 Timothy Michael Walter, age 68 of Lingle, Wyoming left his earthly body on June 26, 2022 at his home in the presence of his wife and some of his family members and one of his hospice nurses. He was born on January 9, 1954, the second son of Adam and Doris (Hettinger) Walter. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Jancy DeBolt Walter and his sons Patrick (wife Samantha) of Pine Bluffs, WY , John (wife Holly) of Torrington and Bryan (wife Sarah) of Cheyenne, WY and grandchildren Laney Lynn, Atana Lee, Cooper John, Huck Obadiah, and Titus Alexander. His siblings are Russell "Pinky" Walter (Jody) of Lingle, Robin Walter (Skip Dame) of Casper , Janet Knisley (Mark) of Cortez, CO and William "Bill" (Erin) of Kaycee, WY. He is also survived by Jancy's sisters Jenny Schilt (Mike) of Laramie, WY and Jeanne Warme (Winston) of Bellevue, WA and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, niece Tylynn Walter and granddaughter Emma Connelly Walter. He was destined to be a teacher and touched many lives through his work as a U.W. Extension Agent in Casper and Gillette from 1977-1990 and as the Agriculture Business instructor at Eastern Wyoming College from 1990-2009. Tim and Jancy were owners of Community Drug in Torrington. He received his B.S. and M.Ed. degrees from the University of Wyoming. Tim was a volunteer baseball and basketball coach, and was a WHSAA Basketball referee for several years. While an extension agent he brought the 4-H Shooting Sports program to Wyoming. He was a Trustee and choir member at the Community Presbyterian Church in Lingle, was a member of the Sugar Valley Barbershop Singers, and was a member of the Board of Trustees for Points West Bank. He always attributed his character traits to his German-from-Russian heritage. He'd say "I'm a stubborn German" - and he was right! He also had the traits of working hard, being true to his word, being fair, and yes, being stubborn and determined! From Tim's own words from notes Jancy found: "Tim sends a special thank you to all his friends and family for the great times like family gatherings, boating and hunting, golf matches, basketball games, singing and guitar playing sessions. He sends his love to Jancy, Pat, John and Bryan; and leaves this world with no regrets." Services will be held at the Community Presbyterian Church of Lingle on Friday, July 1, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Memorials made in Tim's honor will be designated for Community Recreation projects, Regional West Hospice or the Lingle church.
