In Loving Memory of Walter Patrick Dooley I...


It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Walter Dooley, a loving husband, a cherished father, grandfather, brother, and friend, on October 20th 2024 at the age of 67. He was surrounded by his loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering strength.


Born on May 26th, 1957 in Knoxville, TN, Walter lived a life full of joy and purpose. He loved his wife, Joy "Denise" Dooley, and his children very much.
