Anthony Lloyd Bonham Walker Obituary

Anthony Lloyd Bonham Walker Sr.
November 6, 1990 – June 1, 2025
Anthony Lloyd Bonham Walker Sr., 34, of Marion County, Florida, passed away on June 1, 2025. Born in Wichita, Kansas, on November 6, 1990, Anthony was raised in the heart of Florida, where he built a life rooted in love, loyalty, and service to others.
A devoted father, beloved son, cherished brother, and loyal friend, Anthony's life was centered around his family. He is survived by his loving parents, John and Liza Walker; his brother Jade Cryer; and sisters Brittany Bonham Walker and Dallas Bonham Walker. He leaves behind his partner, Shayla McCoy, and his children: Annika and Arabella (with Fawn Santiago), and Aurora, Athena, and Anthony Jr. (with Shayla McCoy) as well as Weston Stotsenburg whom he raised as his son. His legacy continues through his grandparents Sandi Pond and Gary Walker; nieces K'Aliyah Thomas and A'Ryiah Belchie; nephews Ryan Belchie Jr., Jacob Thomas, King Belchie, and Tatum Heath; and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.
Anthony was preceded in death by his grandparents Lloyd Bonham Jr. and Tawon Walker.
To those who knew him, Anthony was the first to offer a helping hand-always ready to step in, give, and serve without hesitation. He was known for his kind heart, infectious energy, and unwavering commitment to his children, whom he loved beyond measure. His friendships ran deep, with lifelong brothers by his side: Dylan Anderson, Peyton Gunn, Jacob Corey, Ryan Belchie, Terrence Heath, and many more who considered him family.
In 2015, Anthony bravely battled thyroid cancer. Though his body faced lasting challenges, his spirit remained strong. Recently, he was hospitalized in a Myxedema coma and spent seven days on life support. After briefly returning home, he passed peacefully and was welcomed into the arms of his Lord and Savior.
Anthony loved the outdoors-fishing, four-wheeling, and riding dirt roads with the radio blasting. A natural tinkerer, he was happiest fixing, building, or simply exploring with his hands. Above all, his family was his pride and purpose.
He was deeply loved and will be missed more than words can express. While our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing Anthony is at peace, free from pain, and in the presence of God.
Rest easy, Anthony. Until we meet again.
