Mr. Walker was the son of the late Cecil Walker and Versie Wilkinson Walker and grew up in the close-knit Clopton Community, where family and hard work were at the heart of life. In 2012, he made Newton his home, bringing with him the same strong values and determination that shaped his life.

He spent his days doing what he loved most—working the land and building with his hands. Farming, logging, and operating heavy equipment weren’t just jobs to him; they were a way of life. He had a deep respect for the outdoors and a talent for turning hard work into something lasting and meaningful. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Misty Hagler.

Surviving relatives include his son, Kolten Walker (Shelby), Ozark; grandson, Leo Walker; uncle, James Roy Wilkinson, Clopton.
