He is also survived by 1 niece and 5 nephews, including two special nephews Oliver and Wyatt Thiele, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is also survived by his faithful companion, Bossco. He is preceeded in death by 5 grandparents and one brother (James August Kim of Monticello, IA). Wally graduated Caledonia High School in 1998 and graduated Motorcycle Mechanics Institute of Phoenix, AZ, in 2000. Over the years, he worked many places he enjoyed, including: Harley Davidson in New Richmond, WI, A.B.L.E. in Caledonia, MN, Ron Alpen Ford dealership in Durant, IA. Wally also helped open Thiesen stores in Sparta, WI and Davenport, IA. He was in manager positions at Subway in Caledonia, MN, and most recently at Dollar General in Caledonia, MN. Wally was also on the Caledonia Fire Department for a period of time. Wally enjoyed laughing, helping people, fishing, motorcycles, and sharing stories. He was a very good listener, a hard worker, and a kind soul with a big heart. Wally enjoyed old movies and TV shows (Batman, Ghostbusters, Dukes of Hazzard, etc.) and anything Star Trek (he was an avid Trekkie). He enjoyed working on vehicles, going to the gun range, and doing model cars/ships/etc. Wally had a great artistic talent and an eye for details. Wally's final gift was that he was an organ donor. As we searched/waited for a miracle, Wally got to become a miracle for multiple people as he was able to donate numerous organs and tissue. He would have been proud to be able to help others in his last moments before being beamed into his Final Frontier. His visitation and celebration of life will be at Caledonia United Methodist Church on Saturday July 9th, 2022. Visitation will be 12pm to 3pm; celebration of life will be at 3:30pm. The service will be streamed live on Caledonia United Methodist Church Facebook page. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in order to off-set the cost of funeral arrangements to the family or through Venmo (@WallyMemorialPage).
