Bobby Jean Walker, known affectionately as Bobby to his friends and loved ones, passed away on September 24, 2025, at the age of 53. Born on January 24, 1972, to Stanton and Linda Walker, Bobby's life was one marked by his sense of humor , intelligence, and kindness that touched the hearts of everyone he knew.

Bobby graduated at Tahlequah High School's class of 1990. His pursuit of knowledge led him to further his education with college coursework that would prepare him for a successful career. He found his calling in the world of technology and spent many fulfilling years as a computer programmer, a profession where his analytical mind and attention to detail were greatly valued.

Around his family and friends, Bobby was known for his love of the Oklahoma State University and New England Patriots, but his real love was for the sport of basketball, OKC Thunder and Indiana Fever cheering them on with the same passion he brought to every aspect of his life. His joy was contagious, whether he was sipping on his favorite Diet Mountain Dew or sharing laughter aboard the boat during family outings. Bobby's spirit for adventure extended to the realms of Dungeons & Dragons, where he was both a masterful storyteller and a cunning strategist.

Bobby's heart belonged to his one true love Sonya White Ballard Walker, with whom he built a life filled with love, respect, and partnership. He has a beloved daughter Zoe, who, along with her husband Aidan, brought immense pride and happiness to Bobby's life. His family grew to include his bonus children, Destiní and her fiancé Derek, Kaitlyn, Gabbie, and Andrew, all of whom he loved as his own. The light of his life shone even brighter with the arrival of his adored grandson, Everett, who will carry the legacy of Bobby's kindness and adventurous spirit.

Those who knew Bobby will forever remember him as a man of great intelligence and his funny sense of humor. His kindness was a beacon that guided his every interaction, and his adventurous nature inspired those around him to embrace life's journey with courage and enthusiasm. Bobby's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the indelible mark he left on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.

As we say goodbye to Bobby Jean Walker, we celebrate a life lived to the fullest, a life rich with love, friendship, and the joy of every shared adventure. He will be deeply missed, but the memories he created will continue to inspire and comfort us all. Bobby's journey through life was a testament to the power of a kind heart and an adventurous soul, and his story will be told with love for generations to come.
