Kelly Walker Obituary
Kelly was a lifelong resident of Nassau County. He was graduated from Hilliard High School and he serviced in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict. Upon returning from the Navy, he entered Jacksonville University and, while a student there, he ran for and was elected Town Clerk for the town of Hilliard. When he graduated as a member of the first four-year graduating class of JU, he accepted employment with the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Corporation.
He resigned his employment with Chevrolet when he purchased the Chevrolet dealership in Folkston, Ga. He was the Chevrolet dealer in Folkston until he applied for and was appointed the Chevrolet-Buick-Pontiac-Opal dealer in Fernandina Beach. After selling the dealership in Fernandina Beach, he was the Sales Manager for Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville until his retirement at age 79.
Kelly enjoyed wing shooting. He traveled North, South and Central America and Africa shooting game birds and waterfowl. He was selected several times as a Senior Veteran Class Shooter on the Florida State Southeastern Region and All-American Sporting Clays Teams.
Kelly was predeceased by his wife, Jean B. Walker; his parents, Kelly E. Sr. and Violet Sikes Walker; and a brother, Wendell Walker.
He leaves behind his sons, Brannan K. and Ramsey H. (Felicia) Walker; his daughter, Suzanne Walker (Fabrizio Consiglio); grandson, Hampton Walker; and granddaughters, Kaitlyn Walker and Carissa Sheen.
He wanted to send a special thank you to his breakfast friends at McDonald's.
In keeping with Kelly's request, there will be immediate services and he will be laid to rest with his wife at Bosque Bello Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Rather than flowers, donations may be given to Boys & Girls Club of Nassau County or Community Hospice & Palliative Care.
