We miss him deeply as everyday that goes by!! My husband Norris was his bestfriend to the end and it saddens me that he wasn't able to see his god son born just a week after he passed!!! Me and my husband served with him in Iraq he made it 15 months with us then to come back to the states and pass away!! The Johnson family misses him deeply but he will always be in our hearts!!! Mrs Walker we miss you and can't wait until we go and see you!! Love the Johnson Family

I met Sgt. Walker in Camp Falcon, Iraq. Just wanna say it sadden my heart because he was like a son to me, we used to attend the same church service and we sung in the choir together. My prayer goes to the family. May God give them comfort during their loss. You are missed by all who know you. Linda Small known as Mother.....

Bless him for all he has done. My prayers are with his family but recently a Sedgwick County Sheriff's Deputy was killed in a motorcycle wreck and his wife is still critical in the hospital. He is a military veteran but the only online news that has mentioned this is KWCH. My heart goes out to both families.

God Bless him, to survive a tour in Iraq only to die in an accident. Truly tragic!
