Walker Allen Byers was born on March 12, 1949, to Wilford and Jean Byers. He was the eldest of two children. Walker passed away on November 8, 2009.
Walker met Patti Lynn Monday, in the early 70's and married her in September 12, 1975. In 1978, he and Patti were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Brandi Michelle.
Walker began his lifelong career in the early 70's for Midway Pipe and Supply. In 1987, he went to work for Redman Pipe and Supply where he later became the store manager for the White Oak office in 1994. He continued as store manager for Redman until its merger with McJunkin/Redman Corporation. In the fall of 2008, he transferred to the Houston office to work in the Exxon/ Mobil Projects office where he was the inside sales lead for the Upstream Department.
Walker loved the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed gardening as well. Many afternoons Walker would spend time working in his shop.
Walker is survived by the love of his life, Patti; their daughter, Brandi; mother-in-law, Tammy Monday Armstrong; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Debbie and Lester Welch; goddaughter, Macy Lynn; special friend, Jennifer Powley and many other close friends.

I just found out today about Walker. I worked with Walker at Midway Pipe and Supply Company in the late 1970's and have known him for years. My sympathy goes out to his family and I will always remember the good memories we shared. He will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Patti & Brandi,
I enjoyed knowing Walker the short time I did at McJunkin Red Man. He always had a smile and something helpful to say if you needed it and he will be missed.
As I told Brandi today, if either of you ever need to talk or anything, please call me. I don't understand your pain but know how difficult it is to deal with a loss like this.
Kind regards,
