Michael Walker Obituary


Michael Wayne Walker, 58, was born Oct. 19, 1957, in East St. Louis, Ill. He went to be with Our Lord Jesus on Thursday, August 11, 2016.

Michael was preceded in death by his father William Josiah Walker Jr, grandparents Milton and Marion (Boski) Jones, William J. and Fleeta (Folmar) Walker; uncle Stanley Jones, aunts Patsy and Patricia Jones and cousin Jason Baligad.

Michael leaves in this world his son Michael W. Walker Jr.; mother Dora Jones Walker; brothers John and Keron (Bannerman) Walker and R. Keith Walker and Joette Wood; nieces Karen Joy Walker, Brandi Lynn Walker Avens (Todd), Pretti Walker; nephews John P. Walker Jr. and Austin McRight; aunt Mary Baligad (Joaquin) from Anaheim, uncle Milt Jones of Alamogordo, and many cousins.

Michael lost his battle with lung cancer, but he put up a good fight. He will be missed by the many friends for whom he cared deeply. Some of Michael's best years were spent working off-shore in Louisiana. He was a journeyman electrician and jack-of-all-trades, a real 'go-to' person, having many memories of jobs he held in Florida, the southeast, and years in Alamogordo, N.M.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the local hospice care, 1859 Indian Wells Rd. (575) 437-3500. What a great group of people!

Mike was one of the strongest most caring people I have ever had the honor of knowing and calling my friend. He helped me through the worst of times and was there to help me celebrate the good. I will miss him forever.
He served this country in the US Army and then greatly as a civilian to help those that no one else would. Thank you for being mike. I love you and I love your family.
To Dora, your strength is amazing. I see where mike got it from. Lots of love.
