Great Coach, will be missed
RIP Coach Walker I

To Mrs Diane Walker & Family,

I am extending sincere condolences from me and all of my siblings. Everyone of us attended MRHS while Coach Walker served as coach, teacher, and unofficial role model.

A few days ago, while on our siblings' text group (after being informed of Coach Walker's passing), practically every one of us shared the positive impact that Coach Walker had on our lives.

I am sending thanks from all of us to you, Mrs Walker, as well as to Coach Walker for the consistently positive influence you all had on our lives during a significant and formative period of our lives.

*We are truly grateful.

May the Lord God continue to keep you and your family safe and secure in His Power, Love, Joy, and Peace.

Sincerely,

Robbie Lewis-Blackwell Class of '81.

Dear Diane,

Sending prayers for you and family. I have memories of PB and you, your love for one another and, of course the fun times.

Your Cousin

Madison-Ridgeland High School will forever be one of my happy places. It was full of laughter, learning, and some of the most special people in the world! Last names like Henderson, Lewis, Foster, and Walker made me want to become a teacher. What wonderful role models they were.
Miss Diane, Scott, and Craig, my thoughts and prayers and with you. Coach P.B. will be missed.

Diane, from Steve Butler and our entire family, our heartfelt love to your family. Coach Walker was a big part of my happy childhood in Madison, and it warmed my heart to see him over the years when I visited back home. Mama Hamil's is, indeed, our Class of '82 "headquarters." As you well know, your husband was a wonderful man and much loved and respected by all -- not just the athletes he coached but the rest of us, too. May God bless you. Steve

Diane, we are praying for you & your family daily. I know daddy ran straight to PB to welcome him with open arms, & the two of them are having a blast together again. We love you & are thinking of you!!

So many memories, so many stories. He is a part of every childhood memory I have. A second father to me, friends that are like family, dearly loved and forever missed. Love all of you.

Diane, I am so sorry for your loss! May God Bless You at this trying time!

Coach Walker will always be in the landscape of my memories. From being on the sidelines cheering and seeing him coach the football team to encouraging our faith through FCA. Thankful I was blessed to have known him. Love and prayers to all of his family, especially remembering you, Mrs. Walker.

As a coach, teacher, and mentor, Coach Walker was one of the most influential people to me growing up. That relationship extended to the whole family with P.B. and Diane becoming long-term friends with Mom and Dad until they passed. I will cherish your friendship and everything I learned from you the rest of my life. Rest in peace.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

I sends condolences to the family..

Coach, you were an outstanding human being. You touched so many of your students. We love you and we will truly miss you. God bless you and keep you. Debera Riley Stuckey

P. B. and Diane have been a huge part of our lives since 1965, especially´65-`83. Jerry and P. B. were almost always together whether eating, fishing, guarding the bus yard on Halloween, working on renovating the old field house with James Hodges, alternating bus drivers, coaching or just hanging out. Our children literally grew up together. The memories would fill a book. P. B. will be sorely missed by so many. He is now with his savior.
He and Jerry have a lot of catching up to do too. I pray peace and comfort to his family and loved ones. We love you. Cricket, LeighEllen, Clint and Shannon Henderson.

Praying for you and your family Mrs walker...

Coach was one of a kind. A coach, teacher, mentor, husband, father and a great friend. I had the opportunity to grow up watching him coach my brother in football and then I was able to play football while he was still coaching. He is the reason I got into track and I came in third in the district in high jump. I had him as my coach, my PE teacher and my Civics teacher before he had to leave due to health reasons. He was awesome and he touched a lot of lives. He definitely will be missed. Mrs Diane, Scott and Craig I am grateful for having him and your family in my life. R.I.P. Coach we got this from here.

Prayers to the family from Virginia and myself. So sorry that we won´t be able to attend the service. I got to spend a special time with Coach back before Christmas and am so glad I got to spend the time with him and Diane. We got to talk about so much and share so much, it was so special. Diane, I will be thinking of you and you know I would be there and will be in spirit. Love you! I added the picture I took of us the last day we visited!

Coach Walker was a dear friend of the Cauthen family. He was a big part of our school and church lives. We consider Coach and Diane as family. Our thoughts and prayers continue for Diane, Scott and Craig.

Thankful and Blessed to have known and loved him!! Enjoy your heavenly peace, Coach. God Bless!!

Coach Walker was one of a kind. I was born after his coaching days had ended, but to all - he was still Coach. I grew up at FUMC and OTWC, and Coach made the best food on Sundays. I always found time to talk to coach about whatever game, or games, that had happened since I saw him last. He could talk ball with one of the best of them. My grandfather Harvey and dad Robby loved Coach, along with cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. Prayers to Mrs. Diane and the family. Coach will be truly missed!

Coach Walker touched so many lives and was a great role model to all the students he coached and taught through the years. He will be missed but remembered by so many. Diane, you and the boys will be in my thoughts and prayers

Deepest condolences Diane and family. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.
