Walter Woods

In the middle of the day on January 31, 1969. Walter Earl Woods was born to the parentage of John H. and Margie Wesley Woods at Baylor Hospital in Dallas, TX. From pe-school through 6th grade, Walter attended the Oak Cliff Christian Schools where he played Soccer.  He spent his Middle School years at Boude Storey Middle School. Walter enjoyed his high school years at A. Maceo Smith High School where he was in the Drama Club and earned trophies for participation in one-act plays.  He sang in the choir and won first place bass soloist in competition with other Dallas schools.  As a senior, Walter served as Battalion Commander of A. Maceo Smith's Naval ROTC and graduated with honors in 1987.

Walter wore many hats.  To name a few: Licensed barber; licensed CDL driver, both short and long haul; apprentice electrician; handy man; yardman, mover and whatever he put his mind to.  In his latter years he set his mind on the ministry of the Gospel and attended classes at the Greenville Avenue Church of Christ as well as the Brown Trail School of Preaching. He wanted to more effectively bring others to Christ.

Early Sunday Morning March 8, 2020 Walter peacefully exited this earthly body and his spirit went to be with the Lord. Those left to cherish Walter’s memory are parents, John and Margie; brothers Ron (Rebbie) and Harold (Doris); nieces and nephews, Ryan, Rachel, Steve, Jeremie and MA'K'La; Uncles, Walden Ray (Patsy) and Verleson Wesley; Aunts: Mae Frances Wesley and Doris Grady. There are also many caring cousins and other relatives and friends. Even though he had no biological sisters, there are several who supported him throughout his ordeal. To name a few: Robin Higdon, Lamonica Littles, Karen Mack, Marshalette Williams, Sharon Washington and Cheryl.
