As the son of Charles R. Walker and June Walker, Tim was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 1964 was the year that he received his diploma from Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School. After completing his high school education, he went on to study at Aquinas College, Grand Valley State University, Chaminade University in Hawaii, and King’s Point Merchant Marine Academy.
During his lifetime, Tim held a variety of employment. His most recent position was as a stock and commodities dealer and realtor in Southern California. Prior to that, he worked as a teacher in Cheboygan, Michigan, where he taught fifth grade. He also managed a restaurant in Bloomfield Hills. In addition, he ran the pickle factory that his family owned and operated.
Sailing, skiing, working as a tour guide at a wild animal park, looking for morel mushrooms, and savoring a delicious rare steak with a glass of cabernet were some of his pastimes that he enjoyed doing in his spare time. People will remember him for his infectious laugh, the twinkle in his eye, and the adventures he had during his entire life. The activities that brought Tim the most joy were those that took place on the water, such as sailing and racing boats.
He had a deep and abiding faith in God, and he lived his life to the absolute utmost by doing so. He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him since he was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Stephen Walker’s parents, Richard “Dick” Walker and June Walker, passed away before he was born. Patricia Walker, his devoted wife of 46 years, his children Wendy Walker and Brett Walker.
His grandson Gabriel Walker, his brother Pat Walker (Martha), his sister Mary Lokker, his sister-in-law Diane Porter, and a large number of nieces, nephews, and relatives are among those who are left behind after his tragic passing.
At eleven o’clock in the morning on Wednesday, March 8, a funeral mass will be held at St. Peter Catholic Church in Douglas. Additionally, a luncheon will be held immediately after the ceremony. Instead of sending flowers, the family requests that you consider making a contribution to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
