After touring worldwide in the military, he brought his family to Daytona Beach, FL, in 1966. He later started his own business with his late brother-in-law and a close friend, which eventually became Walker’s Concrete.

As a youth he attended Thomas Grove Baptist Church in Waynesboro, GA. Upon making Daytona Beach his family’s home, in 1968 after attending a Revelation Seminar, he made the decision to become a Seventh-Day Adventist, was baptized and received into the fellowship by the Mt. Calvary SDA Church that was located on Cherry Street in Daytona Beach Fl. As a faithful member he served as Treasurer, Deacon and Head Deacon.

Walter leaves a legacy of cherished memories to Kenneth, Winsel, Sharon, and Kendale; fifteen grandchildren; twenty-four great-grandchildren; a sister, Inez Tindel, Waynesboro, GA; a brother, Bonnie Walker (Allene), Yorktown, VA; a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, god-children, friends, and his beloved church family from Mt. Calvary SDA Church, Daytona Beach and Emmanuel SDA Church, DeLand, FL. Siblings preceding him in death – Dobb Walker, Jr., Eloise D. Williams, Wille Walker, and Gene Walker.

Walter’s transition to eternal life was peaceful. His departure was a deep and personal loss to his family and friends and he will be greatly missed.
