Keith Allen Walker

Keith was a graduate of Springfield-Clark Joint Vocational School and Greenon High School, Class of 2000.

He was a man who took pride in doing his job well and in meeting the demands of work with strength and determination.

Keith was an avid race fan, he enjoyed riding dirt bikes; and his favorite sports teams were the 49ers and the Reds.  Above all else, Keith’s proudest accomplishments were his children. He loved Peyton and Easton deeply and found real joy in supporting their youth baseball and softball programs. His devotion to his kids was steady and wholehearted, and the time he spent encouraging them, cheering them on, and standing beside them will be remembered with gratitude and love.

He is also survived by his mother, Karen Byrum of Enon; his father, Don Walker (Annette Waldon) of Amelia; his paternal grandmother, Barbara (Sonny) Steele of Ripley; his sister, Robin Walker of Huber Heights; his brother, Derek (Sena) Walker of Fairborn.

He was preceded in death by his half-sister, Kristie Harris; his maternal grandparents, Raymond and Evelyn Buell; his paternal grandfather, Donald Walker; and his stepfather, Phil Byrum.
