Mike was born to Robert and
Dorothy Walsh in Anaheim, CA
on August 5, 1960. He graduated from Troy High School in
Fullerton, CA in 1979. As a young man, Mike struggled with
drug addiction and related problems, but his life was radically
transformed upon receiving Jesus as his Savior in the early
1990s, and he devoted the rest of his life to sharing the gospel
and serving others. Mike was a devoted father to his daughter
Nicole, making sure that their weekend visits were fun and
memorable.
In 2003, Mike and his mother, now a widow, moved to
Washington State seeking a milder climate and more affordable
living. He worked for Triton Marine Construction in Bremerton
for many years, pursued chainsaw carving, and transformed his
Key Peninsula property into a lavender farm. He married
Valerie (Stokes) Walsh on December 10, 2011. A talented artist
and woodworker, Mike was known as a man who could
repair or build anything. He enjoyed dining at good restaurants
and doted on his beloved dachshunds, Hannah and Kelly.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents. Mike is survived
by his wife, Valerie; his daughter Nicole Walsh and
grandchildren Kaiden and Logan; stepdaughters Stephanie
Salazar (JC) and grandchildren Jaydin, Ajay, Isabelle, and
Logan; Krystina Shores (Scott) and grandchildren Abygail and
Luke: and stepson Michael Stokes (Hayli). Mike will be deeply
missed by all who knew him.
We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from
the body and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8
