Ronnie, you were only 9 years old when I married your Uncle Henry. You and your family were always special to me and still are. I remember how much fun we had going to Wisconsin where we camped and fished. It was a very good memory. Sending Love and prayers to your family. Gone but not ever forgotten. Rest in Peace. Sandy
Ronnie n I hung out after school a lot. He worked at a nursing home w me too. He had such a big heart always. Rest in peace my friend, you’ve earned it. I’ll see you again someday!! Hugs n prayers to his family!
I worked with Officer Walters months in K-UNIT. He has a big heart. he would go far and beyond to put smile on his co-worker’s face. You will forever be remembered Brother…. it hurts to say SLEEP EASY!!!!!
My dearest friend Walters, how this news breaks my heart and cause me to cry… nevertheless, I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And you my friend, are in the presence of the Lord right now.
In July 2017, I met officer Walters and the first things I noticed about him are his kindness and the light that shine through him. For these reasons, we became close friend throughout the years of us working together. We shared many stories about our lives, family and faith. Family and faith in God were the biggest part of his life.
I am so proud to have known you and share memories with you. My favorite memory is when we met at the park and we talked about starting a church together and just serving God. I remember we prayed together. It seems like it was just the other day…
The memories we shared will always bring joy to my heart. I honor you my dear friend. Thank you for being part of my life. Rest in the Lord’s perfect peace. I love you.

I definitely considered Ronnie a friend. He was always checking on me inside the prison and after I’d moved on from the job. He and Melody were the sweetest and funniest people. I am / was heartbroken to hear the news he’s gone. I’m so grateful to have gotten to know him during my time on this earth.
