Walter F. Atha Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Walter F. Atha (Easton, Maryland), born in Columbus, Georgia, who passed away at the age of 59, on January 19, 2026. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Walter F. Atha to show support.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Walter may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Dr. John Atha and Barbara Odell Atha. He is survived by: his husband Dr. Joseph P. O'Neill; and his siblings, Donna Davitte (Mitch), Karen Lynn (Kelly), Ben Atha (Tracy) and Tomy Atha (Cathe). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Walt's memory to Allegro Academy (https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io), or GRREAT.

Leslie Pound wrote a sympathy message

“Walter was a best friend to anyone he met. We became friends when our mothers became friends, about 58 years ago. I'm going to miss his one of a kind laugh, smile and hugs. Yes, I did have to stand on my toes and he had to bend over so that we could have our hugs. Dad received orders to go to Ft. Ord, CA, Walt kept hearing me say Four Door. We were pen pals until returning to Rockmart. Blessings and peace to all the family.”
