Martin Walters "Marty"

A much loved, kind, and giving friend to many, passed away unexpectedly December 12, 2023, at his residence, age 62.

Son of the late Keith Sr. and Dolores (Soltysiak) Walters, Marty was born September 30, 1961, in Saginaw, Michigan. Although Marty never married or had children, he is survived by his longtime friend and companion, Paula Rench, and joyfully assisted in raising her two children Kristy Mallory and Casey Meigs.

Marty was a proud SEIU member who worked for Saginaw Public Schools as a custodian for 30 years, touching both staff and students with his humor and kindness at Loomis, North, South, Arthur Hill, Morley, Zilwaukee, Fuerbringer, and SCC. Marty had a strong work ethic, always working more than one job from high school until his retirement in 2010.

All who knew Marty will remember him for his humor, compassion, and generosity. He always went out of his way to help and listen to the many people who were fortunate enough to cross paths with him. He enjoyed spending time with his friends and family, especially his four-legged feline buddies. He loved to travel throughout the United States, with Las Vegas being his favorite destination.

Marty is survived by his longtime companion, Paula Rench, siblings Joe (Lori), Keith Jr., Darlene, Scott (Shari), sister-in-law Bonny Walters, and aunt Loraine (Jerry) Hatfield. He was predeceased by his parents and brothers Dennis, Donald, Russell, and Rodney (Ron) and sisters-in-law Pam and Debby.

Cremation has taken place, and services will be at a later date. Arrangements by Paradise Funeral Chapel, Saginaw, MI.
