He was born September 3, 1947, in Cedarville, Ohio, the son of Alonzo and Dorine (Peterson) Walker. He retired from Cemex after many years of service. He is survived by his wife, Karen (Brumfield) Walker, whom he loved more then he loved breathing, they lived a true life fairy tale from the moment they met her shy and quiet and him so funny and outgoing, a daughter, Kimberly (Walker) Strother, Wilberforce, a son, Theus (Heather) Walker, Fairborn, two grandchildren (who were his whole heart, Tommy was called many a name in his lifetime but Papaw was by far his proudest), Brayden Strother and Alexzander Walker, five sisters, Bernice Haynes, Rose Deboe, and Kathleen Smith, of Springfield, Mary Ann Patrick, Gary, IN, and Jean Walker, Beavercreek, a brother, Martin Walker, Cedarville, by numerous nieces and nephews, and by many close friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, his 1st grandson C.J. Strother, three sisters, Charlene Lewis, Judy Roberts and Joann Walker, and by five brothers, Richard, John, Lawrence, Paul, and William "Bud" Walker. Tommy was the biggest and proudest Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs fan and when the Cubbies won the World Series in 2017 no smile could have been bigger than his was. He loved playing softball, and hot summer nights under the lights with his teammates (BROTHERS would be a better term) was a huge part of his life. He coached Cedarville Little League for many many a yr and formed some unbreakable bonds. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Tommy never knew a stranger and never treated anyone as anything other than a friend. His smile could light up the night. He loved telling the most embellished stories to a roomful of people and making them laugh, a person's laughter was all he ever wanted. He lived an amazing life, and some of his most cherished moments were when he was traveling with his wife and family. Cruising was the biggest passion for him and he saw places with Karen he never thought he would see.   Services will be held at 3pm, Saturday, May 12, at Neeld Funeral Home, 1276 N.
