August 13, 1993 – October 7, 2024
Walter was very kind, loving, outgoing, and he loved playing sports. His mother sent him to La Jolla where he received his education. Walter accepted Christ and was baptized at the early age of 8 years old under the leadership of Dr. John Ringgold of Bethel Baptist Church.
On December 27, 2012, Walter was shot and paralyzed in a drive-by. He was 19 years old. After 14 years working at Scripps Hospital, his mother quit her job to care for him full time. Walter struggled with not being able to walk so he started rapping, making beats, and recording songs with his good friends that stuck by his side.
On October 7, 2024, Walter’s work here was done as he was called home in the comfort of his mother.
Walter was preceded in death by his cousin Arnold Adkins, “Big Mom” Barbra Robinson,
grandmother Barbra Taylor, “Aunt Pooh” Deandrea Norman, and close friends; Aaron Jordan, Seandell Jones, and Darris Walker.
Walter leaves to cherish his memory Mother Rosalind Lanette Vinson “Mommy Nette”, Father Walter Howard Taylor, Sr. “Big Walt”, his wife Irene, sister LaTroya Horn, nephew Troyon Lucas, niece Aleyiah Wood “Way Way”, who he loved playing with, grandmother Novell Word “Nae Nae”, aunt Lorrie Vinson, uncle Roy Vinson, Jr., and a host of cousins and close friends who helped Momma Nette when needed.
