Walter William McDonald, a pastor, died Oct. 14. He was 86.

Walter was a church planter since 1988. He was pastor of Providence Baptist Church, Tallahassee, Florida, for at least 25 years. In 2012 he joined Baptist Church Planters while continuing to serve Providence Baptist Church.

Walter was “passionate about encouraging outreach, and it is evidenced through the church’s efforts in VBS, their Annual Harvest Fest, and their weekly Bread Ministry,” says Baptist Church Planters. “On any given Saturday morning you will find a dedicated group of members gearing up to distribute perishable and non-perishable foods to needy families.” He retired in 2019 but “continued ministering to the people of inner-city Tallahassee.”

Walter was preceded in death by his first wife, Genevieve, and a daughter, Pota Coston.

He is survived by his wife, Beverly; five children; and six grandchildren.
