Eddie graduated from Dale High School in 1972. He married his high school sweetheart, Mary Jo shortly after graduation. They were blessed with a son, Eddie Shane Walker. Eddie spent his entire career as an aircraft mechanic. Some of Eddie’s most memorable moments were spent on the motorcycle with Mary Jo, motorcycling through the mountains. Eddie enjoyed working on anything that had an engine and smoking Pall Malls. He was passionate about cars and motorcycles and rode frequently until his passing. Eddie, also known as Papa, loved his grandchildren Colton, Carson and Elliana Jo. After retiring in 2016, he attended the grandchildren’s choir concerts, sporting events, holiday gatherings, and never missed a birthday party. Bring on the cards and cookie cake! You didn’t have to look far for Eddie. If it was up to him, he’d rather be home.
