 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF TED HOLT WALTER OF LAKE CITY AND
 TO HONOR HIM AT HIS PASSING FOR HIS COMMITTED SERVICE TO HIS COMMUNITY.

   01/27/21  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 53)

TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF TED HOLT WALTER OF LAKE CITY AND TO HONOR HIM AT HIS PASSING FOR HIS COMMITTED SERVICE TO HIS COMMUNITY.

Whereas, known for his dedication to his community, his church, and the various organizations he led and served, Ted Walter, on the occasion of his passing on January 20, 2021, at age sixty, left a legacy to Lake City and the broader community of Florence County that will not soon be forgotten; and

Whereas, the son of the Reverend Dr. Theodore Holt Walter and Pegilie Price Walter, Ted Walter was born on February 25, 1960, in Camden. In preparation for his career, the young Ted earned his bachelor's degree in economics from Wofford College, where he served as commander of Sigma Nu Fraternity; and

Whereas, he was a South Carolina Realtor and Certified Residential Appraiser with Kirby Realty & Construction; and

Whereas, whether on the job or working with the organizations of which he was a part, this servant-hearted man sought to better his community. He was past president of the Rotary Club of Lake City (Paul Harris Fellow) and served on the Florence County Zoning Board of Appeals; and

Whereas, as a man of faith, Ted honored the Lord as a member of Lake City United Methodist Church, where he served in numerous leadership roles and was a faithful volunteer for Lake City Meals on Wheels; and

Whereas, away from the office, he also was an avid outdoorsman. Further, his family saw him live a life that reflected his love for them. He was a devoted husband of thirty-three years, a proud father, and, most recently, a delighted grandfather known affectionately as "T-Pop"; and

Whereas, Ted Walter leaves to cherish his memory, in addition to his parents of Columbia, his dear wife, Cheryl Kirby Walter of Lake City; his son, Benjamin (Allison) Walter of Charleston; his daughter, Grace (Patrick) Burch of Lake City; his grandson, Jack Burch of Lake City; his brothers, Tim Walter of Mt. Pleasant, Perry Walter of Atlanta, Georgia, and Paul (Jennifer) Walter of Hilton Head; his aunt, Connie Walter of Florence; his parents-in-law, LaRue and Shelby Kirby of Lake City; his brother-in-law, Roger (Pam) Kirby of Lake City; his nieces, Amy Kirby, Lizzie Kirby, Kate (Andrew) Hall, Celia Walter, and Hanna Walter; his nephews, Price Walter and Cooper Walter; and a host of other family members and friends. Ted was preceded in death by a sister-in-law, Darlene Walter, and an aunt, Mary Lou Munn. He will be remembered as a beloved and respected Florence County leader, one who will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate the life of Ted Holt Walter of Lake City and honor him at his passing for his committed service to his community.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Cheryl Kirby Walter for the family.
