Walter "Wally" Jorgensen, Woodburn—The community is grieving the loss of Walter "Wally" Jorgensen, who passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, August 9th, 2024, surrounded by his loving wife of 60 years, Roberta, and their immediate family. Wally was a prominent figure in the world of boxing, having dedicated his life to coaching both amateur and professional boxers. He was instrumental in bringing boxing to the valley in the late 1980s, founding the Capitol Boxing Club and Dallas Boxing Club, where he mentored countless young athletes.
Wally was more than just a coach; he was a father figure to many youths who faced difficult circumstances, offering them guidance, support, and a place to belong. His selflessness extended beyond the ring, as he often operated his gyms through personal donations or by funding them himself. The impact he had on the lives of those he mentored is immeasurable, and his absence will be deeply felt.
Sadly, in recent years, both Wally and Roberta’s health had been in decline, placing a significant financial strain on their family. In light of his passing, the Jorgensen family has set up a fundraiser in honor of Wally’s legacy, seeking support to cover the costs of his funeral and to allow him to rest in peace. The fundraiser, organized by the Jorgensen family on behalf of Richard Keymolen, aims to raise $5,000, and any contribution, no matter the size, is welcomed with heartfelt gratitude.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Jorgensen family during this difficult time. May Wally’s legacy continue to inspire and his memory be cherished by all who knew him.
