Folks at Walkertown High School Plant Cherry Tree in Memory of Graduate Who Died Last Year

On Thursday evening, Walkertown High School held a tree planting ceremony in remembrance of Tyler Gallimore. 

“Pastor Jesse Clubb, who has sons that attend Walkertown, officiated the service,” said Jayne Koeslin, an Exception Children's teacher in the Occupational Course of Study program at Walkertown. “Tyler was a student from the first graduating class of Walkertown High School. Tyler passed away unexpectedly in July of 2014. He left behind family, staff and friends that thought highly of him. 

“Tyler was in the Occupational Course of Study Program and wanted to work on diesel engines. He loved fishing with his grandpa and hunting, along with cherishing his mom. Tyler is greatly missed by all, but will now have a flowering cherry tree that will remind us daily of him.”

Lowe’s Home Improvement of Kernersville provided the tree.
