He was born March 19th, 1939 in Sisseton, SD.
Preceded in death by father, Mike, and mother, Laura; 5 brothers; 1 granddaughter.
He is survived by his wife, Jane; daughter, Angel (Chris); son, Cordero (Kelsey); step-sons, Dave Jr (Lisa) and Chris (Heidi); 10 grandchildren & 8 great-grandchildren.
Walt was a loving husband and father for 35 years. He met Jane at a Mounds View Festival, while he was performing as Elvis. He loved his grandkids with "all my heart". His passion for music and performing Elvis would light up the room.
