Publish in a newspaper
David Lee Walker, age 67 of Newark, MO passed away Sunday evening at his home in Newark, MO.
Born May 28, 1958, in Kirksville, MO, he was the son of Stevens Lee and Jessie Geraldine Breeden Walker.
Surviving is a brother, Ricky Walker of Newark, MO; three sisters, Melissa Marshall of Columbia, MO, Jennifer Walker of Ankeny, IA and Tara Powers of Edina, MO; nieces and nephews are Josiah, Sharayah, Canaan, Micah and Jayden Marshall, Steven, Harley and Dylan Powers and a great nephew, Osiris Marshall.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law, Joseph Powers.
David grew up in Knox County where he graduated in the Knox County High School Class of 1977. He was a long-time employee of the Knox County Road and Bridge Crew, retiring in 2023. As an avid sports watcher, David was a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals Fan, and in recent years, a Kansas City Chiefs Fan. There were very few sports he would not watch, and in his youth, you'd find him shooting hoops at the park in Newark. Since retiring, he enjoyed socializing with neighbors while driving in his side-by-side, as well as reading sports and mystery books. Friends and family were very important to David.
Funeral services will be held 2:00 P.M. Friday, September 19, 2025, at the Hudson-Rimer Funeral Home in Edina, MO. Visitation will be held from 12:00 noon until the time of services. Pastor Lance Bonnell will officiate the service. Everyone is encouraged to wear their St. Louis Cardinals attire.
Burial will be at the Newark Cemetery, Newark, MO. Casket bearers will Chris Dooley, Tommy West, Leonard Long, Phillip Spory, Kyle Clay and Timmy Kincaid.
