Let me start by saying…This is not an easy task. You never think this could happen to your family. Sadly it is. On March 2, 2024 at approximately 6am my brother Walter better known by many as Coach Walter or Wally and to family, the People’s Champ was found by his 2 daughters 6 & 4 years old on his room floor unconscious. He suffered a brain hemorrhage in combination of a stroke. Although he received immediate medical attention we don’t know the severity of the damage. He had an emergency craniotomy, a major surgery. He is currently in the ICU. We still don’t know the prognosis but we are looking at a lengthy and extremely slow recovery at this time. But lately it’s been a new battle everyday. He will be having numerous test and procedures to see what is causing a delay in his response for simple commands from his medical team. Let me add he has an amazing team of nurses and doctors that we are eternally grateful for. A little bio of my brother. He was a coach for many years for the Oxnard Warriors Football and Ventura Packers. But most recently a coach for Rio Mesa High School in Oxnard, Ca. His passion has always been to help out kids in working hard at what they love. His encouraging words are ones that for many of us stay with us for ever. He worked many years with Costco where you would catch him singing and greeting you with the happiest smile. Always willing to give a lending hand to anyone in need. One of the most selfless persons you would ever encounter. He currently was working for the Oxnard High School District as a Paraeducator.
He strived for having a better life for his two girls Allissandra “Alli Bear” and Yullissa “Chooch” and their mom Jessica. We ask for any donations to help my sister in law and my nieces with all the medical and other financial expenses heading their way. He is looking at a long and lengthy recovery and will not be able to provide for them while he works on getting well.
In advance we thank everyone’s for the support.
