Richard was a cherished husband, proud father and Paw Paw, and a loyal friend.

In addition to his parents, Richard was preceded in death by his sisters, Tonya Walker and Angela McKirdy. He is survived by his beloved wife, Jana; son, Richard Levi Walker III (Kendra); grandson, Noah; brother, Shawn Walker; nephew, Catlin Morgan (Nacole) and family; in addition to numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who will miss him dearly.

The family will receive friends immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, please make memorials to the National Kidney Foundation or to the charity of your choice.
