Robert Walker Obituary
Eddie was born in Tampa, Florida to Emily Walker Baxter and the late Sonny Burgess. He was a residential carpenter. Eddie enjoyed fishing, camping and picking on his sisters. He idolized his dog, Liam and spending time with his family, especially his daughters. For many years, he had attended Bear Paw Baptist Church in Murphy.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his daughters, Robin Walker (Logan) and Rachel Walker (Joseph); his sisters, Tammy Carr (Larry), Christy Ware, Michelle Holbrooks, Rebecca Sneed (Daniel) and Emily Hamby (Eric); 23 nieces and nephews; his best friend, John Stephens (Amy); and his special friends, John and Susie Evans.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Townson-Rose Funeral Home is in charge of all arrangements.

It´s hard to say what you feel, Jesus let Eddie take a peak from Heaven to see the heartfelt Love that is pouring out in tears of grief by His precious Moma, Sisters and family.
That one day we too shall step into Glory, my cousin, we are so saddened that you were called home, but we also know God´s plans are higher than our grief. May you be at peace, perfect peace! Amen
