In addition to his parents, Richard was preceded in death by his sisters, Tonya Walker and Angela McKirdy. He is survived by his beloved wife, Jana; son, Richard Levi Walker III (Kendra); grandson, Noah; brother, Shawn Walker; nephew, Catlin Morgan (Nacole) and family; in addition to numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who will miss him dearly.
