Walter J. Daley, age 60, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by the love of his family.

Walter was the beloved husband of Sheryl (Rokus) Daley and the devoted father of Logan and Lucas. His family was the center of his world, and he took immense pride in his sons, cherishing every moment spent with them. He especially enjoyed watching his boys play sports.

He was predeceased by his parents, Helen (Kavalski) and John Daley, Jr.

Walter is survived by his loving sisters and brothers: Mary Ann Daley-DiCastro and her husband Dick of Bridgewater; Helen Daley and her partner Ray Souza of Naples, Florida; Michael Daley and his wife Charleen of Englewood, Florida; John Daley and his wife Theresa of Middleboro; and Joseph Daley and his wife Linda of Carver. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Ruth Rokus of Brockton; his brother-in-law, Kevin Rokus, and sister-in-law Michelle of Holliston; as well as several cherished nieces and nephews.

Walter was employed as a Configuration Analyst at Boston Mutual in Canton following a 40-year career at Liberty Mutual. He was respected for his dedication, professionalism, and strong work ethic.

He found great joy in life’s simple but meaningful traditions. He looked forward to his bi-weekly pizza nights with his brothers — evenings filled with laughter, stories, and lifelong bonds. He also treasured his 25-plus years of Sunday-morning basketball games, a time of camaraderie and friendly competition that kept him active and connected with close friends. Walter was also an avid Boston sports fan; he treasured the wins and agonized over the losses.

Walter will be remembered for his quiet strength, steady presence, and generous heart. His resilience during his illness was an inspiration to all who knew him. Above all, he will be remembered as a loving husband, proud father, loyal brother, and dear friend.

His legacy of love, devotion, and integrity will live on in the hearts of his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Walter will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Funeral arrangements and services will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Walter’s memory to Disabled American Veterans (DAV), or Bloodcancerunited.org.
