Walter rejoicingly entered the gates of Heaven and into his life of eternity on June 15, 2018. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race and I have remained faithful." 2 Timothy 4:7. In celebration of his life, at age 86, we honor him. He was a man of faith in Christ and embraced his Savior with all his spirit, soul and body. Walter lived and breathed to know Him.

He was a member of Lanier Baptist Church for 41 years. Walter and his wife, Jean, are charter members of HRRVC of Louisiana.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Jean Stewart Nichols, who faithfully took care of him after having three stokes with all the love she could give him. He is also survived by his daughters, Reine Champton and Ronaele Brouillette and her husband Tim; sister and brother in law, Nelda and George Ross; brother and sister in law, Don and Emma Lou Nichols; Jean's children, Carolyn Cline, Dennis Stewart and Keith Stewart; along with numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
