Sawyer Walker Obituary

Heaven gained another angel on October 9, 2015, when Sawyer Liam Walker, put his boots on and tucked his pants in and then received his angel wings. He was 3 years old.

His loving parents welcomed Sawyer into the world on October 8, 2012 in Marion, OH.

God must have really needed a good little helper, Sawyer loved to grab his tool box and hammer to fix things. Sawyer was all boy. He loved playing with his trucks, tractors, and his toys in the dirt and the sandbox. He also loved riding all of the farm and Construction Equipment with his dad and grandpa. He could be ornery, bull-headed, and a little mischievous, but he was also a lover and always gave the best hugs. He could make you laugh until you couldn't breathe and brighten your day with his little grin and giggles. Sawyer shared a special bond with his big sister, Ava, his puppies, and his favorite blanket he called me-me. Most of all he loved helping his dad.

He will be greatly missed by his parents: John A and Samantha M (Sautter) Walker; sister Ava; grandparents: Ann Sautter, Steven M Sautter and Teresa Bowman, and Jack & Janet Walker. Great-grandparents; Roland Sautter and Betty Grunde, Betty Parker, Gerald and Betty Walker, and Doris Gibson, and numerous Aunts, Uncles, and cousins who were all special to him.

Sawyer was greeted in heaven by his great-grandparents Don Parker, Art Gibson, Jean Sautter, and old Papa Walker who arrived there before him.

His family will welcome friends from 3 to 7 pm on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, at Mount Gilead Church of Christ. , 322 Iberia St. Mt Gilead, OH. Services celebrating his time on earth will be on Wednesday, October 14, 2015 at 11:30 am with Pastor Doug Bryan officiating. The burial will follow at the Walker Family Farm, in a special spot up on the hillside.

If desired, memorial contributions in Sawyer's memory can be made to the Mount Gilead Church of Christ.

Snyder Funeral Homes of Mount Gilead are honored to have been chosen to serve Sawyer's family and your condolences may be expressed to them by visiting www.SnyderFuneralHomes.com.

I did not know Sawyer however I have a 2 1/2 year old grandson that is JUST LIKE SAWYER. I am crying and praying for you right now that GOD does great things through you to help with others so no one else has to go through such a tragic loss. May GOD help your hearts and may we all pray for your family as Sawyer is looking down at you digging a path for you to come to him when it is your time. With all our love.
