An obituary posted to the Fawcett Funeral Homes website describes Walker as a person who would always greet others with a “warm smile and usually big hug.”
“Whether it be in the workplace, on any sports field or watching him Captaining the Red Dragon out on Georgian Bay, he will be terribly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him,” the obituary read.
Walker was a father, son, and brother.
