John Walsh Obituary
February 24, 1967 - February 22, 2026
Beloved son of Barbara (Doherty) Walsh and the late John A. Walsh. John was a cherished brother of Maryanne Desmond and her husband Christopher, Eileen Hupp and her husband Shane, Anthony Walsh and the late Edward Walsh; proud Godfather and fun loving uncle to nieces and nephews; loved by aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
