Walter Alexander Stasukewicz, 93, of Bettendorf, passed away peacefully with his wife by his side on October 2, 2026, at Jersey Ridge Place, Davenport. A private family service was held on Friday, October 9th at the Halligan-McCabe-DeVries Funeral Home, Davenport. Interment was in Davenport Memorial Park.

Walter was born April 19, 1933, in Chicago, to Alexander and Mary (Wera) Stasukewicz. He graduated from Morton High School in 1951. He was an Army veteran, serving from 1953-1955.

Walter was united in marriage to Marian McDonald on September 8, 1962, in Chicago. They recently celebrated 64 years of marriage.

The couple moved to Davenport where he opened the grocery store Wally & Bill’s Jack and Jill located in Davenport. Walter was a trained meat cutter and after the store closed, he continued as a butcher for Jewel Food Stores until he retired in 1995.

He was a man who valued his faith, his marriage, his friendships, and the simple joys that made life meaningful. Whether he was reading his Bible, watching the Cubs or Hawkeyes, singing with the former Moline Gospel Temple choir, catching up on the latest news, participating in the Quad Cities Senior Olympics, or enjoying a round of mini golf in Arizona, he made the most of the life he had been given.

Survivors include his wife, Marian; daughter, Sue Speer of Bettendorf; son, Steve (Linda) Stasuk of Wake Forest , NC; grandchildren Andrew (fiancée Allison Edgecombe) Speer, Emily (Keaton) Connell, Nikki (Logan) Smith, Mat (Anita) Stasuk, and Amy (Jackson) Creech; great grandchildren James, Rose, Margaret, Joseph, Lydia, Julian, Mya, and Nora; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his brothers John, Eugene, and Harry, sister Julia, and son-in-law Bill Speer.

The family would like to thank all who cared for Walter during his recent stays at MercyOne Genesis, Kahl Home skilled care unit and Jersey Ridge Place Assisted Living.
