Heather Walker, the vice president of public relations for the Boston Celtics, has passed away at the age of 51.
In July of 2021, Walker was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma. She devoted a lot of time to raise money and awareness for brain cancer.
Moments ago, the Celtics released a heartfelt statement on Walker’s passing.
“Heather Walker was a boundlessly charismatic, giving, and selfless soul. Every room she entered was brighter for her presence,” the team said. “As anyone who knew her could attest, her abundant positive energy and kindness should not be mistaken for any lack of fortitude or determination when such qualities were required. She thrived in chaos, always able to recognize the humor that the adventures of her life brought her. Each of these attributes were on display through the best days of her life, and remained intact, even sharpened, when she encountered her cruel diagnosis.”
Walker had worked for the Celtics since 2006.
