Matthew Alan Walker, 22, of Radcliff, KY left this world too soon on Saturday, May 24, 2025 at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Matthew was a proud 2021 graduate of North Hardin High School, Radcliff, KY and a member of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity. His enthusiasm for JDM Sports cars and the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula Drift showcased his appreciation for precision, performance, and the thrill of the race. He was a huge fan of the Star Wars saga and he could often be found immersed in the latest video game. Matthew was also an avid fan of guns and was also a keen enthusiast of all things tactical. His love for paintball translated into bonding with friends on the paint-splattered battlegrounds, where his team spirit were always on full display.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, John Edward Walker, Albert Alan Anderson; and an aunt, Danielle Anderson.
Matthew is survived by his parents, Dion & Angie Walker; his siblings, Brandon M. DaleWalker (Jesse), Dion Walker Jr (Valerie), Billy Santoro, Joe Santoro, Jenna Santoro, Lacey Keck (Warren), Valeria Alvarez; his grandmothers, Margaret Anderson, Deborah Walker; uncles, John Walker Jr, Corey Walker (Aisha); niece & nephews, Brayden Walker, Dion Walker III, Maddison Hosler, Logan Matthew Walker; his service dogs, Alex, Nismo; and a host of extended family & many friends.
