MADDOX III
WALTER LEE
Age 88, of Pittsburgh's North Side, passed away on March 30, 2026. Beloved husband for 44 years of Terese (Terry) Maddox; loving father of Lynnette Dalton, Kimberly Maddox, Kelly Maddox, Nicole Maddox, Brandy Maddox, and Alexis Allen (Will Allen); proud grandfather of Joshua Maddox, Jordan Maddox, Madison Dalton, Jackson Juzang, Kennedy Dalton, and Eliana Allen; great-grandfather of Trinity Maddox and Lazarus Maddox; brother of Loretta Russ and Cynthia Vearnon; also survived by loving nieces and nephews and many devoted relatives and friends.
Walt passed peacefully, surrounded by the love of his devoted wife and daughters. In his final moments, he was held in the same warmth and care that he had given so freely throughout his life, a quiet, graceful farewell befitting the man he was.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dana, Rachel, and Mary, the compassionate nurses who cared for Walt so deeply over the final two years of his life.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of one's choice. In true Walt fashion, those wishing to honor his memory may also do so by performing a simple act of kindness for someone else, a gesture that reflects the generosity, warmth, and spirit he so effortlessly shared throughout his life.
Friends and family received Thursday, April 2, 2026, from 2 PM-8 PM, at DEVLIN FUNERAL HOME, 806 Perry Hwy. The funeral service is Friday at 11AM, at the funeral home.

Plant a tree: How does it work
When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.
An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.
After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.
Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.
