Walter "Sarge" Sargent Obituary

Walter R. Sargent, “Sarge”, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2025 in Madison, Alabama at home surrounded by his family. On July 1, 1941 Sarge was born to Dean and Walter Sargent in Tallassee, Alabama. He attended the University of Alabama where he earned his degree from the Culverhouse College of Business.

He was the beloved husband of Donna, a loving father and a proud Papa. He was a devoted member of the Church of the Highlands where he served faithfully on the Dream Team and assisted with over 2700 baptisms. His love for Jesus was evident in the way he loved and served others.
