Not sure what to say?

Was reminiscing today and my friend Walker popped into my head. Looked him up only to see he is gone home. My brother, you were a light...encouraging Kingdom living, grabbing life by the neck, enthusiastically loving Laine (HI Laine! Coach Pike here) and always supporting others around you. Thank God you are a part of my memories and ministry.

As Walker's navy "Chief", he will always be remembered and cherished as a brother at arms and a wonderful personal friend...

Remember Tullahoma, TN airshow and the three crazy bikers that showed up to cheer you on, brother !!!!
We still have so many great memories... Miss you much "LT"...

Although these notes are a treasure for us, we really don't need them to remember our brother, Walker...
through the many experiences we al have had with him, those memories will be carried with us forever...
And, we know Walker is building airplanes and riding motorcycles in heaven...
You are forever remembered...



I was heart broken to just now read about Walker. I met Walker at Bill Glass WOC around 1997. He approached me with that beautiful smile and introduced himself. I had the honor of seeing and talking with him on additional WOC's in different cities. I learned a lot about Walker in a short period of time and his passing definitely leaves a hole in the hearts of many people. But no more than his sweet beautiful daughter, Laine, whom I met when she was quite young. God bless Laine...

Walker was my roommate during Navy primary flight training in Milton Florida. He always kept a positive attitude and helped me to do the same. He will be missed.

I'm glad I was able to meet and work with Walker through Bill Glass Behind the Wall over a period of about 14 years. I never got to see Walker after we moved in 2010, but I'm very glad we kept in touch. All of us down here are going to miss you very much!

RIP for my former Line Division Officer and squadron mate at VRC-50.

A very special child of God has left his mark on this earth and departed to join the saints in Heaven. Praise be to God for His love. Prayers of strength and the peace and wonderful memories to his family here on earth.
