I remember seeing this a while back. As the parent of a special needs child I admire how the folks at Alabama made him a part of their family and was heartbroken to hear that he had passed away. Rest in Peace bud.
Coach Stallings saw me signing to my deaf son and another deaf girl after a game and invited us in to meet some of the players. It was such an awesome gift for my son and one I'm sure he will never forget. So proud that Coach Saban takes the time to talk to special needs also.
I didn't think I could like Nick Saban any more than I already did. I was wrong. This is awesome! Roll Tide Walt! I have a cousin with downs syndrome. Gene Stallings called my aunt and uncle the day after he was born.
@@andreabaker5538 awesome! I went to school in Tuscaloosa and the only player I met was Bart Star at his car dealership. I bet that was great meeting Stallings!!!
Rest In Peace Walt you made everyone you came in contact with better. I would love to see some WG initials on the players helmets or jerseys that would be very special for his family... RTR
When u go to Alabama Nick saban pushes u to your limits to inspire and make you work even harder because he sees the potiental in his players and everybody and he's the godfather of Alabama ❤
This video is something. Brought tears to my eyes. Spirit of Alabama lived in that young man. I'm a Bama-fan most of my life. Bama is class personified. I'm so overwhelmed with this video. Roll Tide Roll
If we go all the way through January 7th, Alabama won't be a dynasty...IT'LL BE AN EMPIRE!!! And there will be absolutely no doubt that Nick Saban will be the G.O.A.T. of ALL college football coaches! #RollTide
As an LSU fan this is great. I have nothing but respect for Alabama's program. I just wish LSU would finally turn the corner and beat Bama. It use to be a decent rivalry but now with 8 straight (some very close games) it just isn't the same. Geaux Tigers!
You guys are getting there and you don't have to win that game to carry respect. Me and many others in Tide nation hold LSU in very high esteem. Can't imagine coach Orgeron wouldn't enjoy Walt! Role Tide!
RIP Walt. What a lovely story. ❤️😢 Such humanity in this. I’m a nurse and I’ve always had a special place in my heart for special needs children/adults. They make me feel like the rest of us are the ones with special needs. God bless his family. 🙏❤️ As a die hard LSU fan, I want to take this time to apologize for anything bad I’ve ever said about Nick Saban. I’ve never said he wasn’t the best coach in the history of CFB though. RTR and Geaux Tigers ❤️💜💛
Ahhh this made me cry 😢 I know someone with Down syndrome that is a huge fan of okc thunder.he loves Russell Westbrook.if he’s not watching okc games that he recorded then he is playing 2k on PlayStation with okc
I think it's kinda one of those deals that's weird when u have camera crew around some famous people don't like their good deeds being on camera cuz then it makes it less genuine or doesn't want it look like he is doing it for the camera's or story cuz he is not doing it for those reasons... I know sometimes famous people well ask reporters not to say anything.. it kinda makes no sense but that how some people feel that if your doing it for the camera's or story in media you're doing it for the wrong reasons but who knows maybe he was just in a hurry that day still seemed really nice regardless.
Walt will always be in the arms of angels. Walt will always be a part of AL Roll Tide's team. May Lord Jesus's be with Walt's family and bring them some comfort.
Rest In Peace Walt Gary. Glad to see you made the absolute most out of life!
So Sad when I read that from your post!!

RIP Walt. You will be missed. From a Hog fan
I hope the team does something special in his memory.
And they did
They did.. There is memorandum of Walt and John Luke in The museum on the Capstone.
Who in the world would give this video a thumbs down
Pure asshole
People who are dead inside.
Only a Joe Biden loving gun banning clown would give it a thumbs down....
@@wildestcowboy2668 why bring politics into it thats not even true.
@@jokers3877 I answered the man's question.....Biden supporters are a bunch of drunks and dope heads....
I remember seeing this a while back. As the parent of a special needs child I admire how the folks at Alabama made him a part of their family and was heartbroken to hear that he had passed away. Rest in Peace bud.
A Beautiful spirit can be contagious, Go Walt...

Coach Stallings was a class act and started the Tide back up to where it belongs after a few grim years after the Bear. RTR.
Gabby Hyman my Mom got to meet Mr. Gene

As a football coach, I absolutely could not hate Nick Saban more. But you have to admit he is an absolutely wonderful person.
To hate somome over a game an being a fan boy is sad and petty example of human.pathetic
@ comment is from five years ago but I literally said I didn’t hate him as a person…
“Coach is always late” tell em Walt 😂❤️
Nick saban shows a professionalism on his part taking time out for someone like Walt. R I P walt.
The way the players interact with him and the way he interacts with the players is special. God bless this sweet man.
Dear college game day quit cutting those damn onions
Awesome young man!! Bama #1 Fan 🏈🐘
Let's make 2019 the year of "Walt's Warriors" and bring home a championship!
Roll Tide buddy, prayers for the family.
Rest in peace, Walt and ROLL TIDE!
When u go to Alabama Nick saban pushes u to your limits to inspire and make you work even harder because he sees the potiental in his players and everybody and he's the godfather of Alabama ❤
LeeTravius Mckay good words
@@andreabaker5538 fr tho
LeeTravius Mckay that is a great viedo
Walt is precious! God Bless his heart.
I saw this on college gameday!
This video is something. Brought tears to my eyes.
Spirit of Alabama lived in that young man.

I'm so overwhelmed with this video.

That's an angel around people , God allows them around others for a reason
Rest In Paradise Walt. You're an inspiration to us all who love this team. Roll Tide Roll!

Genuinely seems like such a great guy. I hope the world learns to never take such positive and happy people for granted.

RIP walt
I hate Alabama but this is truly heartwarming
Lol saban was like yea I’m ready to get out of here
Xxbamafan He put up a good act 😂😂
Xxbamafan ik right
LoL I think the cameras make him feel awkward. I bet he’s actually cool with the young man otherwise.
I think it's kinda one of those deals that's weird when u have camera crew around some famous people don't like their good deeds being on camera cuz then it makes it less genuine or doesn't want it look like he is doing it for the camera's or story cuz he is not doing it for those reasons...
