CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. – A long line of cars drove through the New River Valley Wednesday to honor former Christiansburg Rescue Squad Captain Kelly Walters.
After nearly an hour-long service of Kelly Walters’ favorite melodies and a montage of his career at Auburn Baptist Church, friends, family and rescue squad members paid their respects at his final resting place.
But even the drive over was a touching one for Walters’ cousin, Rogers Walters.
“From the church to the cemetery all along the road people were pulling off to honor Kelly,” Rogers Walters said. “Most amazing thing I have seen in years.”
