Kenneth "Kenny" Moore Walters, Jr., was tragically overcome by the water he loved and lived to be upon on Monday, May 4, 2020, at the age of 67 in Slidell, LA. Born on February 21, 1953, to late parents Myrtle Robinson Walters and Kenneth Moore Walters, Sr., in New Orleans, LA. Beloved eldest brother of Maudie (Earl) Shirley, Late Cathy (Late Robert) Adams, Bonnie (Late Beau) Lambert and David (Brandy) Walters. He was preceded in death by cherished wife Linda Lee Smart Walters. Loving and devoted father of Michael Walters (Brandy) and Michelle (Raymond) Schlaudecker. Proud stepfather of Lee Sanders Sr. (Melissa), James Lynn and Keith Anthony. Doting grandfather of Logan, Saige, Beryl Marie, Lee, Jr., Thomas, Drayton and six great grandchildren. Also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, an abundance of great friends and companion Donna Reeves. Dearest friend of Jim Norwalt and Mike Bobbitt. Kenny was a genuinely remarkable father, family man and friend known for his infectious smile, compassionate spirit and larger than life personality. He was an avid fisherman with a passion for boats and motorcycles. An impeccable cook whose greatest joy in life were gatherings surrounded by family and friends especially for the annual boat parade. Some of his fondest memories shared were sure to include the ole gang from Rats Nest Road which never spared a sore gut from all the laughter. His career spanned over decades at Sealand, Maersk, DCLI and The Landing developing a vast social network attribution to lifelong bonds and friendships. Kenny was embracing retirement, living everyday to the fullest. Enjoying the pleasure of life spending quality time with his children and sharing old and making new memories with family and friends. To know him was to love him and the world was a better place from his existence and will never quite be the same without him. He will always be remembered and deeply missed by everyone he touched. The family will hold a celebration of life at a future date when current Covid-19 mandates are lifted to ensure everyone's attendance.

Kenny, my King, you will be missed by so many friends that you touched with your smile, laughter and warm heart. I will miss your greeting, hi my queen and of course I would respond, hi my King with a big hug. It will not be the same riding in The Saint Patrick's parade with you and your beautiful green hair, across from me on The Landing float. I love you and will miss you my green haired Leprechaun. Give Ms. Linda a kiss for me.

He was my brother in law and I loved him. He took care of my sister unselfishly and with devotion when she was ill. He told her she was his soul mate. Kenny cared deeply for his family and friends and he will be greatly missed. God Bless you

When I first met Mr. Kenny, I was a sophomore in high school back in 2000. Mr. Kenny along with his late wife and bunch people that I didn't know had welcome me with open arms. He was one person that I can always count on with a smile on his face whenever I had seen him. The first St Patty's parades, he had sprayed his hair and beard. I will always remember green hair when comes to Mr Kenny. You will be greatly missed. Please give my dad and everyone else a hug and have a cold one too
