Nathan Walker

Nathan Walker, a steadfast truck driver for over thirty years and a loving family man, passed away suddenly on July 20, 2025, in Batesville, MS. Born on October 23, 1967, in Memphis, TN, he dedicated his life to hard work and the love of his family, ensuring they always felt cared for.

Nathan's passion was as robust as the engines he drove. With every mile on the road, he brought home not only his paycheck but also tales of his adventures and a deep sense of pride in providing for his loved ones. He was truly committed to the art of being a good husband and father, nurturing the very essence of family. His wife, Rhonda, was the love of his life, and together they built a home filled with warmth, laughter, and shared dreams.

The echo of Nathan’s laughter will forever be cherished, especially during treasured moments spent by the lakeside, where he created beautiful memories with his daughters – Brittany Douell (James), Haley Poynor (Aaron), and Kelsey Walker (Corey). He reveled in family gatherings, rock concerts, and the thrill of traveling, whether it was embarking on hunting trips or simply taking a leisure drive, all while enjoying the beauty of nature.

Nathan was not just a provider; he was a protector of the innocent and lover of animals. His spirit of generosity knew no bounds, as he was always seeking to take care of others, embodying the very definition of selflessness. His grandchildren, Jake, Sunny, Braxton, Brock, Carter, Cannon, Koe, Kayson, were the pride of his life, each one a bright star in his universe.

He leaves behind a legacy that cannot be measured by achievements alone, but by the love he fostered and instilled in those around him. He is preceded in death by his parents, Tommy Walker and Carole Walker, his siblings Doug Walker and Sonya Darnell, and grandchild Maddox. They await him beyond this earthly realm, where they will undoubtedly share in the love and laughter he brought into their lives.

Nathan Walker's visitation will be held at The Carter Memorial Chapel at Twin Oaks Funeral Home in Southaven, MS, on July 26, 2025, from 10:00 AM until noon. Following this, a funeral service will commence at noon, with burial services to be held shortly after at Twin Oaks Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home.

In celebrating Nathan’s life, we remember a man who epitomized love, work ethic, and dedication, a bright light extinguished too early, but whose spirit will forever weave itself through the hearts and memories of all who knew him.
