Accepting Kelly Walters’ First Responder of the Year award was his daughter, Nancy.On Thursday, March 11, the Rotary Club of Blacksburg honored Kelly B. Walters as its 2020 First Responder of the Year.

Walters passed away in December. Accepting the award was Walters’ daughter, Nancy.

Captain Walters first joined the Christiansburg Rescue Squad in 1964 (then known as the Christiansburg Lifesaving and First Aid Squad), and for over 50 years he tirelessly served the community.

In addition to the award, the club donated $500 in Walters’ name to a charity selected by his family.

An excerpt from the NRV First Responders Facebook page says, “Kelly Walters was a legend in the first responder community. The lives he’s saved himself and by proxy of his many students are too numerous to count. The man dedicated his life to helping others, and he did it well.”

The Blacksburg Rotary Club’s previous First Responder of the Year recipients are Neal Turner, Montgomery County Emergency Services Coordinator; and Michael Linkous, Blacksburg Volunteer Fire Department in 2019; Wendell Flinchum, Virginia Tech Police Department in 2018; and Danny Yopp, Christiansburg Volunteer Fire Department in 2017.
