Walter C. McClain

Walter C. McCain, age 72, of Jeffersonville Indiana, peacefully passed away on August 17 2024. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and his will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.

Walter dedicated many years of his life to public service, diligently as a Kentucky State Trooper and later with the Kentucky State Health Department until his retirement. His journey to Kentucky began on a football scholarship, where he played as a linebacker at Kentucky State University. Walter was not only a superior athlete but also an extremely intelligent individual. It was during his college years that he met Maria Collins, and together they built a beautiful family with their children, Steven McClain, Roy McClain, II, Roderique McClain; and Jessica McClain.

A man known for his dependability and kindness, Walter was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. He was a faithful Jehovah’s Witness whose commitment to his beliefs shaped his life and the lives of those around him. It was at the Kingdom Hall that he met his wife, Monica McClain, and was a faithful husband. Together they added to their family Scotty Broyles and Katie Bug.

Born on December 23, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois, he was the son of Roy and Helen McClain, both of whom preceded him in death. Walter is survived by his brothers, Robert (Felicia) McClain, his Irish twin John McClain, and Michael McClain; loving wife of 36 years, Monica McClain; his sons, Steven McClain, Scotty (Nicole) Broyles, Roy McClain II, and Roderique (Jene’) McClain; his daughters, Jessica McClain and Katie (Elijah) Gordon-Chambers; 14 grandchildren; as well as a host of extended family, and friends who will cherish his memory forever.
