Walter Maddox Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Devlin Funeral Home - North Hills on Mar. 31, 2026.
November 14, 1937 - March 30, 2026

Visitation: Friends and family received Thursday April 2, 2026 from 2PM - 8PM at Devlin Funeral Home, 806 Perry Hwy.

Service: Funeral Service Friday 11 AM at the funeral home.

Walter Lee Maddox III, 88, of Pittsburgh's North Side, passed away on March 30, 2026. Beloved husband for 44 years of Terese (Terry) Maddox; loving father of Lynnette Dalton, Kimberly Maddox, Kelly Maddox, Nicole Maddox, Brandy Maddox and Alexis Allen (Will Allen); proud grandfather of Joshua Maddox, Jordan Maddox, Madison Dalton, Jackson Juzang, Kennedy Dalton and Eliana Allen; great-grandfather of Trinity Maddox and Lazarus Maddox; brother of Loretta Russ and Cynthia Vearnon; also survived by loving nieces and nephews and many devoted relatives and friends.

Walt passed peacefully, surrounded by the love of his devoted wife and daughters. In his final moments, he was held in the same warmth and care that he had given so freely throughout his life-a quiet, graceful farewell befitting the man he was.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dana, Rachel, and Mary, the compassionate nurses who cared for Walt so deeply over the final two years of his life.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of one's choice. In true Walt fashion, those wishing to honor his memory may also do so by performing a simple act of kindness for someone else - a gesture that reflects the generosity, warmth, and spirit he so effortlessly shared throughout his life.

Friends and family received Thursday April 2, 2026 from 2PM 6 8PM at Devlin Funeral Home, 806 Perry Hwy. Funeral Service Friday 11 AM at the funeral home.
