Walter Ifeanyi Okafor

Ifeanyi was the heart of the Okafor family, and a friend to everyone he met. His joy for life was infectious, full of laughter, affable, kind and generous. Family was his passion, and he doled out his love without fear or favor. He was a traditionalist who reveled in African culture and his Igbo heritage. A proud HBCU alumni, he

graduated from Texas Southern University in Houston with a degree in Social Work, and dedicated twenty-five years of his life to transforming the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities at The Center for Pursuit in Houston. He also served as Provost for Ohaoma Progressive Union, a social

club based in Houston, working to improve the lives of people and communities back home in Nigeria.
