Walter Munsel Memorial Fund
Walter “paw paw” Munsel... if you knew him you know how much character this great man had! Walt was one of the hardest working men I’ve known, he dedicated himself to the fire service and his family! If you spent more than about 17 seconds in ear shot of Walt you undoubtedly herd him talking about one of the 3 women in his life, Kelsey Dawn (Daughter), Kesha (fiancé, although he always referred to her as if they were married for years), or Momma! Every time I talked with him he talked about them like I had know them for years. There’s really no way for me to capture the love this man had for his family!
I first met Walt in 2007 at a training with my volunteer fire department, at some point he flipped my “trainee” name plate upside down. We crossed paths several times in College Station attending and teaching at TEEX, I would eventually coax him into combing to work with me at Manor Fire Department (ESD12), he then drug me to work with him at COTA. We had some great times and made memories I will cherish for life!
I have struggled since the moment I learned of Walt’s passing to comprehend how this could happen, how could he be taken from his girls so early?
This fundraiser will go entirely to Kesha and Kelsey Dawn.
