Gary Bruce Walker

Bruce's family will celebrate his life at a later date.

Skyline Memorial Gardens have been invaluable in their compassion as they care for his final arrangements.

Bruce was born in Renton WA. On July 21, 1956. At age 17 he joined the United States Navy where he was a Assay Boat Coxswain until his decorated honorable discharge in 1975.

Bruce was a loyal Seahawks fan from their inception in 1976, as well as a Seattle Mariners fan.

Bruce was happiest at home with his family and dogs, or when he was spending time with his grandchildren. He loved music, John Wayne, good books and Online Texas Hold'em Poker.

Bruce is survived by Angela, his step-son Damien, daughters Diana, Jennifer, and Tiffany, sisters Shellie and Pam, and mother Irene. As well as 5 grandchildren, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles.

Bruce also left behind many friends and those young men and women who called him "pops".

Bruce was preceded by his brother and just recently his father, both shared the name Tom Walker.

The family will have a memorial service at a later date, information will be provided as it becomes available.

In lieu of flowers there is a fundraiser to help with his memorial fund and any help his family needs during this difficult time.

A very special THANK YOU for the wonderful staff of Skyline Memorial Gardens for going far beyond the bounds of professional and gave their personal compassion towards the care and final arrangements. A debt that has no price tag and can never be repaid. And for Skyline Funeral Directors for taking it one step further and hand delivered and presented Bruce's Military Honor Flag to his wife Angela.

Bruce left this life a better place for being in it and those that had the honor of receiving his love are very lucky indeed, for he was a unique and amazing man. He is missed greatly by many.
