Bradley Michael Walker passed through the doorway to heaven on August 1, 2018. He was born in Provo, Utah, February 19th, 1978 the 5th child of Pamela M. Anderson and H. Blaine Walker.
When offering a plan and complimented on his "good idea" his retort was; "That's the only kind I have"! He was known for his quick wit and intelligence. A voracious reader, Brad knew something about almost anything. He loved the History Channel and National Geographic and could share his knowledge with others in an intelligent conversation.
A talented carpenter, mechanic, and welder, he was loved and appreciated by his fellow workers and employers. Brett Stevens, one of his recent employers commented; "I feel honored to know him. Brad loved working with his hands and was willing to dig in and get things done. He worked hard and was respected by those around him."
All who knew Brad appreciated his ingenuity and the comic relief he brought to a conversation.
He was quick to help others and his sisters and brother, parents and grandparents knew he was there for them.
He loved all sports, whether playing them or watching them. He knew the names and history of coaches and players and had a great sense of strengths and weaknesses of pro sports teams. His favorite sport was golf and he loved playing with his brother, nephews and Dad.
To say he will be missed is an understatement and those left behind will continue holding him in our hearts and minds. He is welcomed on that stairway to heaven by his Grandfather Reed Anderson, GT Duval, John Swenson, Wes Anderson, and great grandparents, aunts, cousins and many other relatives and friends. He leaves behind his grandparents; Howard and Verla Walker, Mary Anderson and Helen Patterson; Mother Pamela (Greg) Duval, Father Blaine (Hilea) Walker; Son Dylan and brother and sisters; Ryan (Larisa) Walker, Aimie (Russell) Johnson, Colbie Dean, Ashlee (Russell) Collard and step sisters; Dominique Anderson, Tanji (Robert) Northrup, LeAnn (Trey) Johnson, and Paige (Mike) Rener.
In the words of Thomas Paine: \"These are the times that TRY men\s souls. ...yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph\"!
A Celebration of Life for Brad will be held on August 15, 2018 at The Chateau , 1910 East Dimple Dell Road (10600 South), Sandy, Utah at 11:00am.
