A Tribute To MCpl Walsh - Remembrance Day 2012

Master Corporal. Jeffrey Scott Walsh - August 7th 1973 - August 9th, 2006 Afghanistan

Jeff was not only a soldier, he was a father, son, brother, uncle, cousin and yes a friend to all. Jeff was born in Saskatchewan and he and his sister were our chosen children. Jeff excelled in the army getting his promotions ahead of time and he had his career mind set. One time he said to me "Dad I WILL get my Sergeants" just a couple of years after that Sargent Major.

He Loved Life, and more so he loved his family and the family gatherings with friends.

Yes, We will miss him, but I love talking about him, he is OUR HERO, our Son, and will never forget you.

He is now our angel looking out for other soldiers on mission and us at home.

Jeff and his spouse Julie had three beautiful children two girls Avrey (8) Jordan (5) in March and little Ben (3) Jeff was meticulous in everything he did if it had to be done it had to be done right.Jeff if he did not know how to do something he would phone a plumber or electrician and find out and read up on it the proper way . Jeff on his visits to our home in Regina he helped us with our projects.Jeff was in excellent physical shape as one of his passions was weight lighting which he started in grade 10 and continued on in his life. Jeff loved his cars and owned a 1977 Camero that he and friends fixed up.Jeff also got some tickets with his Camero and worked hard at McDonald's to pay these off.

Jeff loved spending time with Family and friends. Jeff loved going to his Uncle and Aunts farm Ken and Linda Mushkas near Yorkton, Sask. Jeff use to have deep conversations with his Uncle Ken on different subjects.Jeff loved his sister Jodi and liked to spend time with her and her family when he was home on leave. To this very day his friends come to visit us and we talk about Jeff his antic (ect) (lol) and we have heard stories some which we never heard before (lol) .Jeff has left a giant void in our lives; we miss him greatly and think of him every day. He brought such joy and laughter to everyone that knew him. We shall not forget him. -Ben and Margie Walsh, Regina SASK, Canada

MCpl. Walsh, 33, who was with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry from CFB Shilo in Manitoba, grew up in Regina and Avonlea, about 80 kilometres southwest of the city.

Master Corporal Walsh looks like a very loving and devoted father. May he rest in peace.

Master Corporal Walsh will never be forgotten. This is amazing. My brother is in Afghanistan. I'm very proud of all our boys over seas.

My wish is that not a single other Canadian soldier die overseas. They are too precious to our nation and I want them home. But for those that have laid down their lives and their families.....I have only the deepest respect and the most sincere condolences.

At the going down of the Sun,

And in the Morning,

We shall remember Them.

I made it home to Regina in 2008. When home, I make an effort to visit family and friends who are no longer with us...While strolling through that Regina soldier's section of cemetery near the U or R, I came across Jeff's grave.. I never knew him, but bent over, straightend up the fresh flowers, and I noticed next to him, a marker laid for his Dad (RCMP) who is still alive... What greater love can a Dad have for his son, then one day to be next to him...

RIP Jeff - Wes Allen, Iraq Vet 06/07

MCpl Walsh serves now as overwatch archangel over brethren troops everywhere fighting to protect what he believed in, what we believe in.

I'm not religious, I don't belong to a church. But this much I know about such men.

CanadianMatt, with you, his family and everyone who misses him, I'm so very sorry he's gone.
