Douglas Walton Obituary
Douglas Erik Walton, 49, of High Point, passed away on Saturday, November 11, 2017 at his home.
Erik was born on April 15, 1968 in Greenville, SC, a son of Douglas Eugene and Andrea Walter Walton. He attended Maranacook High School in Readfield, ME and later graduated from South Iredell High School in Statesville, NC. He had worked at Replacements Ltd for over 17 years and was currently employed with Amazon at the time of his passing.
Erik especially enjoyed cooking and taking care of his family. His “home” was in Maine and he loved to travel there any chance he could to see family, and most importantly, eat. He was known for his sarcastic sense of humor and joking with his family and friends.
Erik was preceded in death by his father, Douglas Eugene Walton in 2003.
Surviving are his wife, Beatriz Walton of the home; daughter, Andrea Walton of the home; mother, Andrea Walton of High Point; sister, Susan Walton of High Point; brother, Max Walton of Boothbay, ME.
At the request of the family, no formal services will be held.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the Guilford County Animal Shelter or to an animal rescue of the donor’s choice.

I would like to offer my most deepest sympathy to the family. Erik was an Amazing person with a huge heart and an awesome sense of humor. I've greatly enjoyed working with him. He was always my go to person, anytime I needed help and would go out of his way to help someone. I admired the love he had for his family and I will miss him deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. May the Lord comfort you in the days ahead.

Beatriz and Andrea, Erik was just a joy to know at work and made everyone smile. I know our Lord is looking out for your family during this time of grief. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." (Matt 5:4) Am keeping you both in my prayers.
