May 17, 1942 - July 11, 2007

Walter J. Danz, 65, passed away peacefully at his home in Sierra Vista, Ariz., on July 11, 2007.

Walter was born in Detroit, Mich., on May 17, 1942, to Aulene and Walter Danz. He was a resident of Cochise County for the last 36 years.

Walter was a retired police officer of Los Angeles. He was a lifetime member of the NRA, FOP, Kiwanis, OA BSA and an avid Republican. His career with the Los Angeles police department was a true passion.

Walter is survived by his son, Joe (Mila) Danz of Sierra Vista; daughters, Elaina (Dayne) Asato of California, and Rachel Danz of Tucson; grandchildren: Dalton, Tristan, Keegan, Rogan, Lonnie, Gracie and Tyler; sister, Darlene Swanson; a niece and two nephews.

Walter was a deeply devoted son, brother, father and grandfather. He always went beyond any call of duty for his family and friends. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, homesteading. He will be missed greatly as he enjoys his dream cabin in the woods.

Memorial service will be held Tuesday July 17, 2007, at 4 p.m. at the Living Word Family Church 4060 Monsanto Blvd.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Jensen’s Sierra Vista Mortuary.

" Although I only knew Walter for a short period of time, he had a very positve impact on my life. And I considered him a good friend of mine. I enjoyed our talks together, and he always had a good comment about things that most people could only find negative aspects of. I only wish I had spent more time with him before he went to a better place. I will miss his company greatly. "
