With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Walter K. Maurer. Walter passed peacefully on May 31, 2025 with his loving family by his side. Walter was born on May 3, 1949 in Red Bank, a town he called home for many years until he eventually settled in Shrewsbury where he raised his family for 40 years. More recently, he was a resident of Tinton Falls where he resided for the past six years.
Anyone who was fortunate enough to know Walt, knows that he can only be described as “one of a kind.” Born with the gift of gab, a love of socializing, and the firmest handshake you’ve ever felt, Walter quickly won the hearts of everyone with whom he crossed paths. His love for college sports (let’s go Mountaineers!), music, and travel was exceeded only by his love for his family. Walter exemplified what it means to be a “family man.” Nothing meant more to him, and his 5 grandchildren were the absolute light of his life.
Walter’s love for travel was established early on while traveling for work. He and his wife Kathy were fortunate enough to spend much of their retirement making incredible memories while traveling the world.
Walter is survived by his wife of 52 years Kathleen Maurer, his daughter Samantha Arauz and her husband Felix, and son Andrew Maurer and his wife Whitney. He will be dearly missed by his grandchildren Bryce, Alexandra, Maxton, Cole and Addie, of whom he was so incredibly proud.
A Memorial Visitation will be held on Friday, June 6, 2025 from 4 - 7 pm at Thompson Memorial Home, 310 Broad St, Red Bank, NJ 07701. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the charity of your choice in Walter’s name.
Walter will be deeply missed by everyone, and his family and friends find comfort in the memories that he left behind. Walt was a firm believer in “you get what you give,” and he sure gave his all. Rest in peace.
