Thank you for your support in our community. RIP Dirk
Linwood mourns the loss of our good friend, Dirk Waltz, who’s been a long time supporter of our community along with his family. For those of you who don’t know him personally, he was the Grand Marshall most recently for our 2026 Picklefest Parade. He was an active philanthropist with his support to move the Ice House Museum from South Linwood Beach to the Bicentennial Park, donating toward the Linwood Scenic Access Site park and many other contributions too numerous to mention. You probably have frequented the Animal Farm with the donkeys, goats, peacocks and other animals on South Linwood Beach that was created by his father and maintained all this time by Dirk and his family. Please join us in prayers for him and his family.
If you have any fond memories or photos to share, please comment below. I’m sure it would mean so much to his wife, Marti, and all the rest of his family. https://www.obitmichigan.com/Obituary/80659/Dirk%20Donald-Waltz
