Declan "Decky" Robert Walters Age 4, of Beechview, on Friday, September 27, 2019, after a short courageous battle with a brain tumor. He is the beloved son of Josh and Kelli (Nelson) Walters; loving brother of Haylie and Luna; dear grandson of Edna Nelson and Bob (Eleanor) Walters; nephew of Lindsay (Rob) Gray, Kim (Shane) Fuga, Tara (Ben Bjerke) Walters, Landon and Kenzi Rankin; and numerous cousins. Declan was a loving, intelligent, free spirited, and lively little 4 years old boy. He loved playing with his sisters, cousins, and aunts and uncles. He also loved being silly and making people laugh. Paw Patrol, PJ masks, toy cars and superheroes were just a few of his favorite things. He was the mightiest superhero of all! Decky brought joy to everyone he met, and he will be incredibly missed and loved everyday until we all meet him again.

Kellie & Josh
I am so deeply sorry for the passing of your little boy. No parents should ever have to deal with the loss of a child especially one so little and innocent. I hope you find comfort in your two beautiful daughters, and the support of your family and friends.
We care for you. And know you can cry, be angry, just talk about Declan whenever you need too.
With love
Sara Hillen and Family

I remember Declan at his grandpa Bob's birthday bash on the Gateway Clipper. What a carefree and handsome fellow. It was a fun event and he seemed to enjoy all the activity and the boat ride. I know he was loved by everyone who came in contact with him and there will be many wonderful memories to help keep him alive in the family's heart. My deepest sympathy to the family.
