Mr. Randy “Bugs” Walters, II, 46, of Connelly Springs, passed away on Friday, August 16, 2024 at Frye Regional Medical Center following a period of declining health.

Bugs was born on August 18, 1977 in Avery County, a child of Randy Walters and the late Carolyn McKinney Walters.  He was a jack of all trades with a knack for machinery.  There wasn’t much that he was not able to fix.

In addition to his mother, he is preceded in passing by his grandparents.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Elizabeth Walters; children, Laura DeCarolis (Louie) and Bobby Walters (Brianna Taylor); grandchildren, Axel and Lexa Walters and Brooks DeCarolis; father, Randy Walters; siblings, Tammy Mayfield (Bruce), Billy Joe Walters, and Rocky Walters; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Jerry and Kathy Jones, whom he affectionately considered as his own parents; and many cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

A funeral service will be held on Thursday, August 22, 2024 at 2PM in the Chapel of Heritage Funeral Service with Rev. Micah Piercy and Rev. Dr. Michael Pardue officiating.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service from 1 PM to 2 PM on Thursday, August 22, 2024 at Heritage Funeral Service.
