The Obituary

Walter Mark Densmore, Sr Obituary

He was born June 5, 1948, to the late Rev. Frank & Dorothy Summerville Densmore.

He was a proud graduate of Carver High School, Class of 1967. Following graduation, he enlisted in the United States Army, where he served honorably for many years before retiring, a testament to his

dedication and love for his country.

He was united in marriage to Emma Jones, and from this loving union two children were born, whom he

cherished deeply.

A man of strong passions and joyful spirit, he was an avid Alabama Crimson Tide fan- "Roll Tide" was

more than a saying to him-and a lifelong, die-hard wrestling enthusiast.

Most importantly, he accepted Christ at an early age and lived a life rooted in faith. He was ordained as a

deacon at Mt. Zion Baptist Church (East Gadsden). He later joined and served as a devoted and faithful

servant of Christ at Fellowship Baptist Church remaining steadfast in his commitment to God and the

church until his passing.

He departed this life on Sunday, February 1, 2026 at Grandview Medical Center in

Birmingham, Al.

He was preceded in death by his parents Dorothy & Frank Densmore and brother Oscar

Densmore

He leaves to cherish his loving memory, wife Emma Jones Densmore, children Tuquita

(Dejuan) James, Walter Mark Densmore Jr. brothers, Bishop Larry (Helen) Poole Sr.,

Bishop Michael (Stacey) Densmore; sisters Julias Ann Tolbert, Tamatha Witherspoon

grandchildren, Dr. Chelsea (Anthony) Amerson, Ashley (Remington) Patterson, Quinton

Densmore, Zamya Densmore. Great grandchild Naomi Amerson, Sister in laws: Doris

(Charley) James, Betty (Edwin) Kirby, Patricia (James) Parker, Glenda (Ronzaleski)
