Dee Brown Walker

Susan, it has been many decades since we have communicated, and I hope this finds you well. While looking up older PADs, I came across your dad's obit and just wanted to say hello and let you know your family is fondly remembered.

Dee Brown was fixture at the courthouse for decades. He was a beloved Judge and mentor. My dad and many others told colorful stories about Judge Walker and I was privileged to appear in his court on many occasions. He was always fair and just. May he rest in peace and may the angels lead him into Paradise.

Thank you for being my friend!

Dee Brown was a very good friend of mine. I met him in 1967 when I drove him and Judge Brown around during the July 4th parade and the "Sons of the American Revolution". He was there for me thru the years and always had time when I called him to sit and talk to me. He will be missed.

Judge Dee Brown Walker freely gave of his time and talents in establishing various foundations that care for many of our pioneer cemeteries in Dallas County. Today he is honored for his forty-seven years of continuous service.

He was a wonderful Christian gentleman, a link to a different time. The judge told me when he graduated SMU law school in 1935, he got a letter from the Dean saying he was ready to be a lawyer. There was no bar exam in those days.

He also said he had been something of a socialist early in his life. Yet, working in rural Texas, he saw how relatively well off even the folks there were. He decided a system that generated that kind of prosperity had to have something going for it. ...

I first learned about "Judge" when I was exploring a small Walker family cemetery in Moniteau County, Missouri. The man who owned the property, Jim Shepherd, told me, "Many years ago, a man drove up from Texas and talked to me about putting up a fence around the Old Walker Cemetery. He ordered a fence out of the Sears catalog and offered to pay me to put it up. I told him I would do it for nothing, and that's why this fence is here. His name was D. Brown Walker". Had it not been for...

I am sad to learn of my Great Uncle's death. He was a caring and generous brother to all of his family. I was pleased to learn of his committment to scouting. I pray his family will take comfort in knowing that God is holding them in His loving arms.

Having received the Walker Award by Judge Walker, I'm sadden to hear of his passing. He's a good man and worked within the Boy Scout program to ensure a quality Scouting program for them. Thanks for the honor to receive the Walker Award and to have received it from his hand.
