Honoring Captain: Support His Final Journey

Captain was an amazing young man that left us far sooner than we expected, sharing just 12 years with us. He thought of others continually and would sacrifice anything for a friend. We are grief-stricken but understand he had wide appeal with his witty and gentle nature. To offset his final and unexpected expenses, as well as provide an outlet for his friends to support him with the sendoff he deserves, we are accepting contributions for his funeral, burial and other expenses. Any funds collected beyond his needs would be used for his sibling's educational pursuits as he highly valued, and excelled, in academics, and Captain deeply loved his brother and sister. If you know him, you know he would not want any donations going to him, but directed to his brother and sister.

No matter how much, it would help. We truly appreciate every bit of support.

Captain Lear Walker, of Davie, Florida, formerly of Texas, passed away unexpectedly on October 31, 2024, at the age of 12. Born December 9, 2011, in Roseville, California, he was the son of January Haverstrom Walker of Harrisonburg, Virginia and James “Bryant” Walker of Davie.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by a grandmother, Lori Todd; a brother, Everest Walker; a sister, Atticus Reinier Walker, and many extended family members.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, William Walker of Charleston SC, and Joy Walker of Lexington, KY.

A private graveside service will be conducted at Woodbine Cemetery in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Several have called to verify if this is real. Unfortunately it is all too real for me. Nothing was hacked. My son is gone. The only thing I can tell you is that you need to love your family more. You might think it's enough but it isn't. Call me if you want but I don't know if I will be able to talk. I might be incoherent, or angry and ranting. I'm just making it one more day for my other kids. That's all I can do.

If you stop by, please at least leave a message that I can pass to his mother and siblings.

Sincerely, Bryant
