It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Pam Kessler, the beloved publisher of Walnut Creek Magazine.

Pam was a passionate advocate for our community, dedicating nearly 20 years to sharing the stories, people, and culture that make Walnut Creek so special. Her contributions have left an indelible mark, and her infectious laugh and vibrant spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Pam’s legacy will live on through the work she championed and the relationships she nurtured.

Details about a celebration of life will be shared in the coming weeks.
