David Walker Obituary
Born in Stuttgart, Germany, David was a gifted musician with a lifelong passion for playing and building bass guitars. He also had an exceptional talent for technology and retired from Equimeter in DuBois, Pa. A devoted fan of science fiction, Dungeons & Dragons and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, David lived with curiosity, imagination and an adventurous spirit. He shared quiet companionship with his beloved cat, Oreo, who brought him comfort and joy.
David is survived by his father, David E. Walker Sr.; his sisters, Suzanne Mears and Sherrie Dillaman; and their families.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Jacquelyn (Zeedik) Walker; his mother, Donna (Carothers) Walker; and his niece, Elizabeth Arblaster.
David leaves behind many cherished memories and a lasting imprint on the lives of those who loved him. Ride free, Davey. We love you.

Dave was a friend. One of the strongest of the strange. While we never met in person, we interacted almost daily for over a decade on web forums related to our work, by email, and occasionally on the blower.
Dave swung a big personality with charm and good intent. My deepest condolences to his surviving family and close friends. "Well, another man is done gone."

I never met the man, but I knew him from an online forum that does member support for people (like me) in the same industry as Dave was in. He chose the username of Lab_Ratt, and we all had fun with him there, both in general and over the username he choose. He has been missed and it was sad to discover this morning that he had passed. He was very knowledgeable and helped a great many people through the website.

Dave did a great job playing bass guitar on my 1979 album We're Not Safe, which has gone on to become a critically acclaimed collectible, and for which I am eternally grateful!
