Daniel Jay Walker was the second youngest of four children to the late Darrell and Wendy Walker. Daniel was born on May 19, 1989, in Baltimore, Maryland. He suddenly departed his life on Saturday, September 23, 2023 in Redford, Michigan where he was beginning a new residence.
Daniel graduated from Eastern Technical High School and was pursuing his bachelor's degree at the University of Phoenix. He started working at the age of 18 and found his passion for cooking and worked at various restaurants. Daniel then transitioned to security at several major casinos’ including Horseshoe Casino where he quickly worked his way up the ranks and ultimately was promoted to Manager of Operations in security at the Motor City Hotel and Casino in Detroit, Michigan.
Daniel was a loving father to four amazing children, Kaden Walker (12), Jacob Walker (8), Zoey Walker (3) and bonus child Connor Curry (8). In his spare time, he enjoyed muscle cars, video games, and spending time with his loved ones. Daniel and LaRacia enjoyed going to different restaurants and trying new foods together.

He leaves to cherish his memories with his fiancé LaRacia McCollins, his brothers Darrell Walker, Emmanuel Walker, and Charles Walker; nieces Deboreah Walker, Amaris Walker; nephews Darrell Walker, David Walker, and Robert Holman; sister-in-law Shabana Walker and a host of other family members and friends.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Shabana and my sister Bria for taking charge and planning the arrangements for my best friend. I’m deeply indebted to Daniel's siblings for quickly coming together for this moment. I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to all of our family members and friends that could be with us today. I’m extremely grateful for all of the love and prayers everyone has been sending to our family. I don’t think I could handle this alone. Lastly, I cannot begin to express my thanks to my mother for doing all she can and being here every step of the way for me.
Love, Rae
