Graveside services for Bro. David E. Walley, age 75, of Sand Hill, will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, June 20, 2026 at Harmony Hills Cemetery in Sand Hill.  Bro. Walley passed from this life on June 14, 2026 at his residence.  Bro.

Bro. Walley was a retired minister whose life was marked by a deep love for God and a heart for serving others. Over the course of his ministry, he faithfully pastored several churches in Mississippi and Alabama, which included Hillcrest Baptist Church in Lucedale, Friendship Baptist Church in Vineland, Alabama, Union Baptist Church in Grand Bay, Alabama, and Seminary Baptist Church in Hintonville, where he offered spiritual guidance, encouragement, and comfort to all who knew him. His steadfast faith, gentle spirit, and dedication to sharing God's love left a lasting impact on the communities he served.  Though his presence will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the many congregations he shepherded, his legacy of faith, kindness, and service will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Grady and Marilyn Walley; and brother, Brent Walley.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Nancy H. Walley of Sand Hill; blessed daughter, Brooksy Lee (Jonathan) Burgett of Mobile, AL; 4 precious grandchildren, Annabelle Lee, Baylor, Amos, and Henry; sister, Lisa Walley (Tommy) Cotten; brother and sisters-in-law, Theresa (Billy) Byrd, and Eleanor Walley; and many dearly loved nieces, nephews, and special cousins.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a love offering be given to one of Bro. David's favorite charities in his memory, which include Mission Dignity, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, and Gideons International.
