Visit the Wade Funeral Home & Crematory - Arlington website to view the full obituary.

Jeffrey David Walker lived a full and adventurous life marked by independence, hard work, and curiosity. He was the son of William Walker and Patricia DeWitt.

He began his career as an aircraft mechanic before becoming a pilot, a role that reflected a lifelong love of aviation. Over the years, Jeffrey worked in many fields, including managing a copper tubing business, owning a transportation company, pursuing a lifelong dream of becoming a chef later in life, and eventually driving for a funeral home. His work took him around the world, and he lived in Colombia for several years.

Full of life and easy to talk to, Jeffrey never met a stranger. He was also a fighter—a no-nonsense man’s man who lived life on his own terms. A proud & faithful Christian, freemason, pilot, and chef, he carried a deep love for flying, cooking, and his blue heeler dogs.

Jeffrey is survived by his children, Sandra Bonner and Jeffrey Walker Jr.; his grandchildren, Clay Bonner and Lily Bonner; and his former spouse, Karen Dye Walker.

A Masonic service will be held on January 10, 2026, at the Texas Masonic Retirement Home, 1501 W. Division St., Arlington, TX 76012. The service will begin at 1:00 p.m., followed by visitation till 3:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, cards and condolences are appreciated.
