Walter was born on April 6, 1948 in the small town of San Antonio, Colorado to Pedro and Reyesitas Martinez Salazar. He married Patricia Lindsey and spent many happy years together until her unfortunate passing.

Walter had a love for life and it never failed to show. His hands were always busy working on cars, or anything else with a motor just to make sure it was clean and working properly. He also loved being out in nature trying to catch the next big fish or just enjoying the scenery while talking to his family. The most important thing to Walter was his family. He loved his kids and grandkids and never missed an opportunity to spend time with them or show them how much they meant to him.

Five siblings; Marcella Salazar of Alamosa, Colorado, Luissa Ulibarri of Salt Lake City, Utah, Lionel (Vicky) Salazar of Alamosa, Colorado, Herold (Lillian) Salazar of Monte Vista, Colorado, and Orlando (Elizabeth) Salazar of Albuquerque, New Mexico. As well as six grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and a multitude of close friends.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Patricia Salazar; his parents Pedro and Reyesitas Salazar; a great nephew Christopher Salazar, his niece Pearl Salazar, and his great niece Jessica Navares.
