Born Walter Evans, III on November 9, 1957, in Cincinnati, Ohio to the late Walter Jr. and Alice M. Evans (both of whom preceded him in death), he was the third of four children.

After graduation, Walter briefly attended the University of Cincinnati as a pre-med student. He ultimately joined the United States Navy where he served as a Corpsman at Walter Reed Hospital.  During his four-year service, he earned his LPN license.  

 

After his discharge from service, he settled in Gaithersburg, Maryland where he met Renee Moten and her daughter Tori. Walter and Renee were married in 1998 and set roots for over 40 years.
