Daniel Patrick Walsh

WALSH, DANIEL Patrick “Walshy” a lifelong resident of Norwood passed away on May 22, 2024 at the age of 45. Beloved husband of Sheila (Donovan) Walsh. Devoted and loving father of Michael Anthony Walsh. Loving son of Michael A. and Sheila T. (McDonough) Walsh of Norwood. Brother of Ann Marie Snyder and her husband Jeffrey of Norwood. Also survived by many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and countless friends.

Walshy enjoyed the simple things in life. He had a passionate love affair with all Boston sports teams and Sour Patch Kids. With the thickest Norwood accent, he loved sharing stories and cracking jokes with others. Dan loved visiting his family in Ireland. He loved listening to Irish music, and spending time by the water especially in Popponesett.

But there was nothing he loved more than being with his wife Shelia and cherished son, Mikey. On the outside, Mikey is his clone. And internally he is already demonstrating the true characteristics that encompassed his father. Those of loyalty, compassion, respect, extreme generosity, honor, a wicked sense of humor and simply a heart made of gold.

At every walk of life, Dan cared deeply about anyone that had the pleasure of meeting him. From the scalper’s around Fenway, the parking attendants in the North End, the server at Dunkin, to politicians, athletes and even the heads of movie studios, Walshy knew and was loved by all.

After graduating Catholic Memorial High School in 1997, Daniel proudly followed in his beloved father's footsteps working at the R.J. Devereaux Corporation. The Devereaux Corp was Dan’s second family. The Walsh’s would like to thank them for their compassion, care, love and constant support. We are forever grateful for the life you have helped to provide.

In addition, the family would like to extend their eternal gratitude for Daniel’s care team in the liver and kidney unit at Beth Israel Hospital.
