Tuesday, May 19, 1942 - Sunday, May 19, 2024
Walter Glen Mynatt, b. May 19, 1942, passed away on May 19, 2024. Walt was preceded in death by his wife, Shirley Marie; his parents, Freadaulph Lawrence and Francis Marie; and his sister, Buelah Nadine. He is survived by his two sons, Kevin Glen (w. Amy Marie), and Michael Lawrence (w. Leslie Diane), and two grandchildren, Haley Elizabeth Hadden (h. Hunter Warren) and Lauren Hope. Walt served in the United States Air Force in Osaka, Japan, returning home to Kansas City to become a member of Pipefitters Local #533 in March of 1965. Walt and Shirley served as youth Sunday School teachers throughout their lives together, influencing hundreds of young people. Walt loved to bowl, watch NASCAR and Indy Racing, and most of all, to fish. He was especially proud of the large-mouth bass he caught that allowed him to win a local bass fishing tournament. While he loved fishing, he mostly loved the time on the water with his two sons and granddaughters.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday June 3, 2024, in the chapel of Newcomer’s White Chapel Funeral Home, 6600 NE Antioch Rd, Gladstone, MO 64119. The family asks for no flowers, rather donations made to one of the two following institutions:
In Memory of Walter G. Mynatt: Hillcrest Baptist Church, 500 Alberta Street Enterprise, AL 36330, or The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts 1300, Biscayne Boulevard Miami, FL 33132.
Condolences
Add Your OwnDear Mynatt Family,
I’m very sorry for the delayed recognition of Walt’s passing. Several retirees were discussing a few of the ‘All Time Greats’ who passed through the doors of Fagan Mechanical in the early days like Walt Mynatt, Newell Davidson, Gene Coleman, Clarence Jones, Jack O’Brien, Jess Smith, Jim Blickhan, James Holmes, Shirley Lynn, Larry Lynn, Claudia Shoults, Jennifer Hoecke (now) Megaris, Bernie Cox, Marvin Frick, Carroll Kemper, Bernie Cox, John Springstube, Bill Sublette, Sam LeVota, Chuck Crawley and many others who helped make Bill Fagan Company into The Fagan Company, which became Publicly Traded as an operating subsidiary of EMCOR Corporation, the largest Mechanical/Electrical Contractor in the world! We’d like to acknowledge Walt’s contribution to that reputation and hope that his days post Fagan were lived in Peace and good health. I’m sorry this took so long and that I didn’t get to put Walt together with some of his former coworkers before he left us. EMCOR does $9.5 Billion dollars per year in business. We’ve lost count how many spin-offs have evolved out of Fagan. Peace to your Family, and thank you for sharing Walt Mynatt with ours on those cold nights and Holidays. God Bless. The Fagan Family
