Obituary For Walter McKenzie
Mr. Walter Lee McKenzie Sr., affectionately known as “Walt Lee” was born in Talladega, AL on February 13, 1952 to the union of William McKenzie and Rosie Pointer McKenzie.
Walt Lee was a member of Sycamore Missionary Baptist Church and attended Talladega County Training School. Following school, he pursued a career at Tyson’s Food for over 20 years where he retired.
He was a man full of life, laughter, and love. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, four wheeler, working on cars, spending time with family and friends, attending softball and footballs games and was a die hard Alabama fan. “Roll Tide!”
On December 18, 2025, Walt Lee departed his walk of life. He was preceded in death by his father, William McKenzie; mother, Rosie McKenzie; son, Walter Eugene McKenzie II; daughter, Kalekia Truss; grandson, Walter Eugene McKenzie III, brothers: Penny McKenzie, Shug McKenzie, William McKenzie, Dike McKenzie; sisters: Mattie Lee Feaster, Willie Cole, Elizabeth Chatman, and Coreletha Turner. He leaves to cherish his loving memory: his devoted wife, Shirley Boyd McKenzie; his beloved children, Tammi (Alexander) McGhee, Shirlenna (Austin) Truss, and Kevin (Jennifer) McKenzie; his sister, Annie Louis McKenzie, and brother, Andrew McKenzie; a host of grandkids, great-grandkids, nieces and nephews.
Walt Lee will be remembered for the joy he brought into the lives of others and the love he freely gave. His laughter, kindness, and spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

You can shed tears that he is gone. Or you can smile because he lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back. Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him. Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone. Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on, You can cry, close your mind, be empty, and turn your back. Or you can do what he would have wanted, smile, open your eyes, love and move on.
