He was born on September 27, 1953, in King George, Virginia, to the late Ida Ruth Walker and Arthur "Rayfield" Walker, both of whom preceded him in death.

In 2024, Rayfield was diagnosed with lung cancer, which he faced with strength and determination.

Rayfield had no children of his own, but he was a devoted father figure to Mike and Michelle, children by love, whom he cherished deeply.

He was one of four siblings and the only son, and is survived by his loving sisters: Linda Walker Wells, Brenda Bradford, and Sharon "Sherry" White.

He is also survived by seven nieces and nephews, a host of great-nieces and great-nephews, and many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

All services are entrusted to Agape Life Services Funeral Home, located at 2105 Emancipation Highway, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401. Rayfield will be laid to rest with military honors at Quantico National Cemetery.
