Merle Heath Walls

Merle “Heath” Walls, 44, of Welch, WV, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, December 14, 2017, from his residence.

In addition to his father, he was also preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Albert and Mona Walls, his maternal grandparents, John and Avis Brown, and his uncles, Mayford and Thomas Walls.

Heath was a member of the Hanover House of Faith where he loved attending church. He showed love everywhere he went, offering a hug to everyone he met. Heath took pride in his truck driving profession. In his leisure time, he enjoyed running equipment, playing piano, and spending time with his family. Above everything, Heath was a daddy. He adored his kids and did his best to be a good father.

Burial will follow in the Walls Family Cemetery at North Spring, WV. Heath will be carried to his final resting place by his family and friends.

His energetic spirit and kind soul will be missed by all who were fortunate to have known him.
