Johnny Floyd Walker, 76, was called home on Tuesday, September 2, 2014. He was born on July 22, 1938 in Pointblank, Texas to Demethery and Mary Jane Walker.
He is survived by his loving wife of almost 52 years, Carolyn Walker; his daughter, Whitney Walker; his granddaughter, Clarisse Castillo-Walker (the light of his life); his daughter-in-law, Heidi Castillo; brother-in-law, Glenwood Sullivan; and his sister-in-law, Betty Joe Hicks.
He is preceded in death by his son, Whitman Walker; his parents, and his brothers, William Walker and Thomas Walker.
Johnny battled courageously against multiple health challenges for several years but he remained strong until the very end. Johnny was a loving husband
to his wife Carolyn who remained by his side through the very end.
Johnny and Carolyn met after she moved to Pointblank to take care of her ailing father. Johnny was 24 and Carolyn was 17. After dating for only one month, they were married on December 23rd, 1962. They had 2 children, Whitney and Whitman to whom Johnny was a loving and caring father. Johnny and Carolyn were married 51 years, 8 months, and 10 days. The secret to their long and happy marriage was a lot of love, a love of laughter, and a lot of determination.
Deep inside, Johnny was just a country boy who worked hard all of his life, loved his family and loved fishing and hunting.
Johnny's favorite passtime was sharing his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with his 22 month old granddaughter, Clarisse. He looked forward to every Sunday when she would come over to visit and spend the day with Boom-Paw and Grandma.
He will be greatly missed by all those who love him but his memory will live on through his granddaughter, Clarisse.
Services are scheduled for Thursday, September 4, 2014 in the Chapel of Beresford Funeral Service with the visitation from 10 am to noon, and the funeral at noon. The interment will follow services at Brookside Memorial Park.
