Mr. Walker confessed Christ at an early age at Rehoboth Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. Willie F. Smith, Sr. "Big Walk", as he was affectionately known, graduated from Valley High School in 1984. He then pursued his field of study in Auto Body & Repairs at Opelika Technical College. Randy owned and operated Walker's Paint & Body Shop in Valley, Alabama for over 20 years. He was a significant pillar of the community and proudly served his hometown until his untimely death. Randy married the love of his life, Teresa McLemore--whom he affectionately called "Lil Girl", September 27, 1997 and together they raised three children.
He was preceded in death by his father, Oscar Lee Walker, his paternal grandparents, John Arthur and Addie Lee Watson Walker and his maternal grandparents, N. Lee and Mildred Worrels Moore. Randy never met a stranger, and possessed the type of charisma that people were naturally drawn to. He loved his family, and he loved his community. Big Walk was always willing to do whatever he could to help those in need. The City of Valley was made better because of his service and commitment. We will greatly miss his sense of humor, his smile, and his caring nature. We trust that Heaven is rejoicing and we thank God for allowing us to be blessed with his life.
He leaves to cherish his memories: his loving and devoted wife, Teresa M. Walker; three children, K'Mya, Kelsie, and Tavian Walker, Sr.; one grandchild, Tavian Walker, Jr.; his mother, Johnnie P. Walker; two sisters, Daphne Gates and LaTanya Walker; one brother, John Allen Patterson; his mother-in-law, Carrie McLemore; two sisters-in-law, Angela (Keidrick) Moore and Erica McLemore; one brother-in-law, Christopher Little; 10 nephews; three nieces; and a host of other relatives and friends, including his employees of Walker's Paint & Body Shop.
