On August 18, 1969, in San Diego, California, Hazel and Walter Lucas Sr. became the proud parents of their second born child, Walter James Lucas Jr. Walter attended Logan Elementary, Muirlands Jr. High, and Morse High School. In his early years, Walter Jr. worshiped and was baptized at the Greater Trinity Baptist Church. He was employed with American Airlines for several years until 2022 when his health began to fail.
Walter Jr. enjoyed sports. He played baseball for Southcrest Park Little League, football for Skyline Park Pop Warner and was a Brown Belt in Karate. Over the years, he enjoyed watching his favorite football and basketball teams, the San Francisco 49rs and the Los Angeles Lakers. He also enjoyed eating his mom’s Macaroni and Cheese and Greens, his sisters Chitterlings, and his auntie Clarine’s Ham and Whipped Sweet Potatoes, which he complained about yearly of why he had to wait until Christmas to have it.
On December 16, 2024, Walter Jr. entered the golden gates of Heaven.
He was reunited with his mother Hazel, father Walter Sr., and stepfather Joseph Brown Jr.
He leaves behind to treasure his memory his sister Deaundra Lucas (niece Kaelah Livingston), his son Devon Lucas, auntie Clarine Ford (Woodie), uncle Howard Yoakum, and a host of cousins, extended family, relatives, and friends.
