Bryce Walker Obituary
Bryce Edward Walker
May 1, 1944 - March 27, 2022
Bryce Edward Walker passed away early Sunday morning, March 27, 2022.
He was born May 1, 1944, to Earl Edward and Jean Marie McAlister Walker. Bryce was born with Down syndrome and was a delight to his parents. As a young boy he attended school in Heyburn with other special needs children. When Bryce was young, doctors told his mom and dad that he would probably pass away at about 12 years of age. We all expected that and we were amazed and pleasantly surprised to have him live to the age of 77.
He lived because of the love and special care his mother, Jean, gave to him. She always prepared well-balanced and good meals for him. She taught him how to work. She showed him great love and care. He kept his bedroom immaculate, washed dishes, and helped weed the garden and flower beds. He was a great worker but about ten years ago he announced to this mother that he was retiring.
Bryce had a heart of gold. He loved everybody, especially babies. He had a great memory and after he met you he knew your name and the names of your family members. He never forgot them. He was always so glad to see you and was so gracious in his greeting to you. His love and enthusiasm always made you feel good about yourself.
When he was younger he always identified a car by its license plate. He knew which state every plate was from. In the winter he loved to help Jean with jigsaw puzzles. At one time he did a large one by himself.
Bryce loved his church and all of its members. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his mother, Jean Walker of Rupert; and other family members who simply adored him! He was preceded in death by his father, Earl.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 1, at Apostolic House of Prayer, located at 94 E. Baseline Rd., in Rupert, with Pastor T.J. Jackson officiating. Burial will follow at Rupert Cemetery.
Family and friends will be received from 5 until 7 p.m. Thursday, March 31, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th St., in Burley, and at the church on Friday, one hour prior to the service.

One year ago today Bryce was welcomed into his Heavenly home where he met his Lord and Savior face to face. What a glorious moment that was, I'm sure! Say hi to my Mama & Pa for me, Bryce. I'll see you all on the other side.

Hello I read about Bryce. I'm grateful to know he is in heaven with our Father. Heaven is going to be such a beautiful wonderful place because I will get to meet people like Bryce. and Jean. I want to give my condolences to Jean. Focus on the hope that heaven brings because it's a buoyant hope. It lifts your spirits & your heart & your mind. It brings comfort nothing else can bring. Know that your child has been born into the kingdom of heaven. He didn't die. He was born again, he's still alive in a new location. Our Earthly body is the placenta, no longer needed k once We are born. We shall see him again, when we too are BORN INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Love Michelle

Hello I read about Bryce on the internet and his story just touched my heart. I checked to see if he was still alive and was saddened to see that he had passed this year. But I'm grateful to no he is in heaven with his father, and his heavenly Father, and my parents and so many people. Heaven is going to be such a beautiful wonderful place because I will get to meet people like Bryce and Jean. I read that she survived her son. I want to give my condolences to you. Focus on the hope that heaven brings because it's a buoyant hope. It lifts your spirits and lift your heart and lift your mind. It brings comfort that nothing else can bring. Knowing that your child or your loved one has been born into the kingdom of heaven is just amazing when you focus on the boring part. They did not die, they did not stop being, just like a baby they were born into another place. They no longer need this place. For those who have gone on Earth is like the placenta it is no longer needed or wanted. It got them where they needed to be and now they are born into the kingdom of heaven where they live happily joyously freely. One day we will join them if we know the father through the son. That is the hope I live on day by day. I hope it brings you comfort and it may sound strange to say this, but congratulations on the birth of your son. He is a beautiful human being and I can't wait to get to know him when I too am born into the kingdom of heaven. May God's peace and Grace be with you until then in Jesus name.
