Melvin Walker Obituary
Melvin graduated from Lyford High School in 1957 and served in the Air Force until July 1961. Following his military service, he worked as a stocker at Village Supermarket before moving on to carpet installation, first with Penton and Son Carpets and later with Henson Floor Covering.
Melvin was a longtime member of the Highland Heights United Methodist Church. He will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his service to his country, and his commitment to his work. His legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Dear family of Melvin Walker. You have my sincere condolences. He was a great person. He seemed to me to always be happy and shared his joy with everyone around him. The world needs more like him. When we were young kids (yes, I knew him for a long time), he and Bobby would ride on a train to our house in East Texas from the Valley in the summer for a while. He loved to play hard but he loved to eat. He coined a saying about needing sideboards on his plate so he could pile on more! I guess there are lots of memories out there because he touched a lot of lives. Thank you Melvin for sharing your life with us. Rest in peace.
