Ryan Charles Walter

We are sad to announce the passing of Ryan C Walter on January 25th, 2021. He died while participating in one of his favorite activities, hiking the Colorado foothills with his beloved dog. While hiking he was caught in an unexpected cold snap which dropped the temperatures on the mountain trail into the teens and enveloped him in a thick wet snowfall. He succumbed to hypothermia. He was 35 years of age. Ryan’s other passions included singing and playing several instruments, composing and performing covers, as well as bartending at Red Rocks Amphitheater and Chili’s.

He is survived by his loyal dog, Scarlet, his parents Bob and Terri Walter, his brother Sean Walter, his sister Kat Walter, his nephew Liam Walter and his many Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. Ryan will be interned at St Francis of Assisi Catholic Cemetery in Phoenix on February 4th following a 10:00 am funeral service at St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, 4715 N Central Ave. The Walters welcome family and friends for visitation at A.L.
