Walter John Farozic
OCEAN PINES — Walter John Farozic, musician and longtime Worcester County resident, died after a long illness on Oct. 25, 2020, at the young age of 51.
Walter Farozic
Walt is survived by his father, Vincent Farozic (Berlin) and brother Vincent John Farozic (Danbury, Conn.).
Walt was born in New York City on April 26, 1969. He grew up in Rockville, attended Massanutten Military Academy (Woodstock, Va.) and Frostburg State University.
Walt was a devoted son, providing much help for his father after his mom, Olga Farozic, passed in 2014. He was a loyal friend, lover of dogs and a practitioner/fan of the martial arts.
Walt loved to perform music with his trademark “acoustical insanity” making sure a good time was had by all at many establishments in and around Ocean City. His sense of humor and showmanship really lit up every venue. The monkey guarded the tip jar and his otter memes informed people of where he would be playing in a given week.
Walt’s passing should serve as a reminder that our time on earth is limited. We never know when we will be called home; we should live every day with that in mind.
Walt’s funeral is scheduled for Nov. 21 at 11 a.m. at Holy Savior Catholic Church at 1705 Philadelphia Avenue, Ocean City, Md. Rev. John Klevence will officiate. All are welcome to attend. A donation in his memory may be made to the Worcester County Humane Society, P.O. Box 41, Berlin, Md. 21811, Letters of condolence may be sent via: www.burbagefuneralhome.com .
