January 2, 2021 from complications due to his long hard battle with cancer.
He was born on October 4, 1949 in Castroville TX to Sherman and Edith Walton.
He was raised in the Castroville area and graduated from Medina Valley High School in 1968.
He was then drafted into the army in 1969 where he was a gun truck driver for the Army.
When he returned, he hadn’t forgotten his love of livestock and began the art of buying, selling, and raising both domestic and exotic livestock. Which he did until the day he passed. You would never know what he would bring home from a sale.
He loved God and his family first, his friends and especially his sale barn family and friends that he has known for 35+ years.
He was living in Carlton Tx at the time of passing. This man worked harder at 71 than any man in his 20’s,30’s and 40’s could ever even think of working. He was up on top of a shed the day before putting a roof and sides on it so his animals would have more shelter from the coming storm.
He leaves behind his wife Tracey, and children Schae, Shawn, and Misty. He also leaves behind grandchildren Zane, Dylan, Dalton and Kayla. A sister Cindy Cowan and her husband Michael, a niece Loren and her husband Michael, a nephew Cody, an aunt and several cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents Sherman and Edith Walton.
