Walter Benjamin Childress Obituary
We are sad to announce that on April 4, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Walter Benjamin Childress of Chamblee, Georgia. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Muncie Childress and Mary Childress; his in-laws, John and Mary Zora Card; and his siblings, Doug and Carolyn (Conrad).
He is survived by: his daughter Missy Auck (Merle); his granddaughter Morgan; his nephew Phillip Conrad; Kevin Anastasi, Sarah Adams, Kim Dejno and Cyndi Winsor. He is also survived by five nieces and nephews.
Family and friends are invited to honor him by wearing a blue button-down shirt and khakis, or the color blue, when attending the celebration—those who knew and loved him will recognize the Ben "uniform."In lieu of flowers or plants, donations may be made to the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering & Engineering Technology at Kennesaw State University (http://www.kennesaw.edu.) or to the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian (http://www.airandspace.si.edu.).
