Jeffrey Walker Obituary

Our beloved son, JEFFREY PAUL WALKER, 25, died a hero in Memphis, TN., on February 4, 2007. His death was due to a drunk driver driving down the wrong way of the freeway. Jeff's evasive attempt caused the driver's vehicle to only hit Jeff's side of the car, thus miraculously saving his girlfriend's life. His father and I ask everyone who reads this obituary to please say a prayer for our beloved son, Jeffrey Paul Walker. Jeff was born in Houston, TX on November 18, 1981. His passions in life were family, friends, and baseball. He played baseball at Louisiana Tech earning him all conference honors. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing. Jeff joined Parker Hannifin Corp. in July 2006 as a Hydraulic Application Engineer and was a member of the Fluid Power Society. Jeff was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother, Kathleen N. Walker. He is survived by his proud parents, Paul and Marianne Walker; proud brothers, Brad and Steven; proud grandparents, Art and Betty Minier, and Robert P.Walker; proud Aunts and Uncles, Joe and Cherie Correro, David and Melinda O'Dell, Robert K. Walker, Tim and Cindy Walker; and numerous proud cousins that will help to keep Jeff's loving Christian ways alive in our family. Friends are invited to visit with the family from 7 until 10 PM on Friday, February 9, 2007 in The Chapel of The Settegast-Kopf Co. At Sugar Creek (Williams Trace exit). A funeral service will be held at 11 AM on Saturday, February 10, 2007 in The Chapel of The Settegast-Kopf Co. At Sugar Creek. A graveside service and committal will follow immediately in Morton Cemetery, Richmond, TX. In lieu of flowers, we request that memorial contributions be made in Jeff's honor to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN., so that other children can have beautiful lives like Jeff's.

Every year, when the sports community begins the cacophony about the "big game", our family reflects upon the events of seven years ago. We speak of Jeffrey with love and respect.
We do not question God's will or his plan for our lives.
We celebrate what we have, and we are thankful for the wonderful ones we had, even if for only a brief time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Walker family, and will continue. May God bless you.

Mr. and Mrs. Walker,
I went to school and I remember what a great baseball player he was. After high school I moved to TN with my family. I just found out that it was Jeff in that accident. I wish I had known sooner. He was a great guy and will be missed.

Marianne,Paul,Brad and Steven,
We wanted to let you know that Jeff was an absolute wonderful,handsome guy. We were blessed to have him stop by our home a couple of months ago to say hello,an unexpected wonderful surprise. Oh Marianne ...it was just yesterday that ALL OUR BOYS
were playing on our cul-de-sac in Dublin, Ohio. Always around was Paul and Jeff throwing baseballs. He will be deeply missed. We can not imagine the pain you are all going through but know that your friends in Dublin,OH love you all and we will forever have Jeff in our thoughts and prayers.
Love the Coppens Family

Paul:

I just learned of Jeff's passing via Parker friends and want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Last summer I had the opportunity to meet Jeff at an Indian's game in the Parker suite. We spoke for a few minutes and talked about you and Louisiana Tech. I assumed all along he was a Longhorn like yourself, but he was quick to tell me in a friendly way he attended and played baseball at La Tech. What a nice young man - courteous, respectful and friendly. My twelve year old son who was with me even commented about Jeff's friendliness.

May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Words cannot express how saddened I am by your loss. Although I never met Jeffrey I always knew from listening to your stories and how your eyes lit up when you talked about him that he was an outstanding young man and special to your heart. That he gave his life to save another is a testament to the character he possessed. The Slate family's thoughts and prayers have been and will be with you!

Kurt Keller

February 12, 2007

Paul/Marianne, I was deeply saddened when I heard of the death of Jeffrey. Having had the privilege of knowing Jeffrey at a young age his leadership qualities were evident even then. It is no surprise that he acted heroically to protect another. Jesus said that there is no greater love than to give one's life for a friend. He paid the ultimate sacrifice, but he will be rewarded w/his place in heaven. May God hold all of you in his arms and comfort you during this terrible time. But receive your consolation by knowing that you will all be reunited in heaven when the time is right. You, Jeffrey and your family are in our prayers.

I am forever grateful for JEFF, MY HERO! He unselfishly saved my baby sister Bonnie. I am full of tears as I write this now. I am a mother of three young children and cannot imagine the pain that you feel losing a son. I did not get the chance to meet Jeff. I know that he was a Christian man and and I hope that we all can find comfort in the fact that he will be watching over us from heaven. Look to the Lord for your comfort and strength.

February 10, 2007

Paul and Marianne-
I was talking to a friend of mine about Jeff. While Brandon and the boys were misbehaving, Jeff always seemed to be the more logical of the bunch. It is a shock that he would be the first to leave us.My friend replied "Even God loves beautiful flowers. From time to time he plucks the fairest rose to add to his bouquet of plain flowers". So having said this, there is some comfort in knowing that Jeff's beauty resides at God's table.
Jim and I are deeply sadden at this lost to all of us. You are in our prayers-

Dear Paul and Marianne,
This is something that hits so unexpected that the words are hard to come up with. Following Jeff's baseball career is when I got to know about this man - his work ethic,integrity,love for people, and always doing the right thing speaks volumnes about you and Marianne. Jeff carried all those experiances from baseball and applied it to life to the degree that put him in a position each day to make a difference in his family,his friends, his teammates and all those that came in contact with him. Our prayers go to the Walker family. In Christ name we pray.

We should all be more like Jesus as Jeffrey did.

My prayers are with Jeffrey, the both of you and the Girlfriend.

God Bless Jeffrey, I did read this obituary and in honor of Jeffrey's memory I will say a prayer for him, I feel for your lost to Jeffrey's mom and day my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Walker family. Even though I don't know the family, I pray with you and bless his girlfriend that did survive and GOD give her strength to keep the memory of Jeffrey always in her heart..but let her move on in her own time Jeffery would've have wanted that...bless you all.
