James Walker Obituary

James Lee Walker, a Colorado resident since 1968, passed from this life into the waiting arms of his Savior and beloved parents on October 10, 2013 after a year-long courageous battle with lung cancer.

He is survived by his wife of 46 years Sherri Lucille; his three children Wendy (Daubert), Vaughn, and Joshua; his son-in-law Todd (Daubert); his daughter-in-law Lauren (Blazis) Walker, granddaughters Jessica, Madeleine, and Elsie, and grandsons Zachary, Walter, Jude and Jonas.

We were all truly blessed to have him as a husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am Saturday, October 26, at Pikes Peak Christian Church, 4955 Bradley Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80911.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations may be made to Asian Bread of Life. Donations can be made online at www.asianbreadoflife.org, or by mail at Asian Bread of Life Foundation, 215 E. 74th Terrace, Kansas City, MO 64114, or at the memorial service. Due to severe allergies to roses please refrain from providing these for the family. We appreciate your understanding.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the spiritual community and church bodies in which Jim and Sherri were and continue to be blessed by.

Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Jim gave the best hugs. He never changed from the person he was in high school-fun loving; happy and a heart as big as all outdoors. May God's comfort and peace bless all.
