Walker Collier

Born on December 16, 1997, in Hot Springs, Walker was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son, loyal brother—and the kind of guy you only had to meet once to remember forever. Whether it was his razor-sharp sarcasm, perfectly timed jokes, or that signature grin that could disarm just about anyone, Walker had a gift for lighting up every room he walked into.

He made the best first impression, loved hard, laughed often, and left people better than he found them. The self proclaimed biggest hog fan you'll ever meet, Walker loved the hogs no matter the sport. Underneath the humor was a heart full of love for his family, his friends, and most of all, his wife, Selena, and their son, Sawyer.

He is survived by Selena and Sawyer; his parents, Tim and Lisa Collier; his brothers, Griffin and Garrett Collier; his mother-in-law Stacy Brewer; sister-in-laws Mariah Aguilar (Dillon); Gabby Aguilar (Dana) and Megan Miller; and his Grandmother Patricia Gilmore. He also leaves behind a wide circle of friends and an enormous family of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins who adored him and will miss him deeply.

The family would like to give special thanks to the nurses at CHI Hot Springs 3rd floor step down unit and 3rd floor LTAC for taking excellent care of our Walker. (xoxo Haley, Anna, Katelyn, Jen, Heather(s), Jodi, Aura, Val, Kristin and Kimmi)
