Obituary For Willard W. Walker

With a spirit larger than life and a heart full of grit and laughter, Willard W. Walker passed away on April 9, 2025, joining his beloved parents and sister. He leaves behind a loving daughter, as well as a cherished niece and nephew.

A lifelong duck hunter and motorcycle enthusiast, Willard lived with passion, purpose, and a sense of adventure that few could match. He had more fun in one lifetime than most could dream of—and he did it all with rare integrity and unwavering loyalty. That same character won him a tight circle of lifelong friends who will feel his absence deeply.

Willard’s legacy is one of authenticity, laughter, and the kind of wild stories that only happen when someone truly lives.

A celebration of Willard’s life will be held on May 3 at 2 PM. Please join us at Kim’s for a potluck-style gathering—BYOB, bring a dish, and bring a story.

    I thought of "Uncle Willie" as Charlie (RIP) and I called him. I hadn't seen or talked to him for some years, but everything in his obituary rang so true. Charlie and I had many fun times with Uncle Willie, My condolences go out to his loved ones. So sorry to find his obituary when looking him up on google. -Margene

    Once upon a time, I rode with the Hells Angels. I traveled far and wide, thinking I'd found a true brotherhood and friendships that would last a lifetime. It took me over 15 years to realize it was all a façade. The brotherhood I was chasing had been in my own backyard all along. Today, I'm reminded of that truth as I say goodbye to my dear friend Willard Walker — a man whose loyalty, heart, and friendship were the real thing. I will miss you, Willard. Rest easy, brother.
