Roy "Farmer" Walker

Roy “Farmer” Walker, 76 of Christian, WV went to be with the Lord Saturday, April 18, 2026, at his home while surrounded by his family.  Born July 5, 1949, at Man, WV he was the son of the late Acie and Vadie (Layne) Walker.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son: Jimmy Gene Walker; brothers: Gene, Willie, Spencer, and Frank Walker; sisters: Madaline (Walker) Taylor and Verlie Mae Walker.

Roy was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He loved all his family deeply.  He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and being outdoors.  His favorite thing was sitting on his porch with family and friends.  Roy started serving the Lord August 4, 2023, he was baptized September 3, 2023.

Those left to love and cherish his memory are his loving wife and best friend of 61 years: Charlotte Ann (Toler) Walker; children: Crystal (James) Gibson, Roy (Leslie) and Darrell (Teresa) Walker; grandchildren: Andrew, Johnny “Jayjay” Paige, Chris, Keisha, Kyra, Tawanna, Roy “Austin”, and Bentley Walker, Micah Gibson, Kyle Williamson, special granddaughter that was like a daughter: Kaitlyn Trent; Roy had 21 great grandchildren.  He also leaves behind a host of other dear relatives and friends.

Roy had a special bond with all his family but for the past 9 months through his sickness he formed a strong bond with his grandson Andrew, Jayjay, and Chris.  I, his daughter, want to thank my sons, Andrew Paige, Jayjay Paige, Chris Walker and my husband, James (Jay) Gibson for making it possible to make his wish of being home and leaving this world at home surrounded by his family happen.  The help was greatly appreciated, especially from him because he said it daily.

Friends may gather with the family Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 2:00 till 3:00 p.m. at the Pathway Church of God at Christian, WV where funeral services will commence at 3:00 p.m. with Rev. Roger Frye, Rev. Michael VanNatter, Rev. Leslie Williamson officiating.  Burial will follow in the Christian Community Cemetery at Christian, WV.

Roy will be carried to his resting place by pallbearers: Andrew and Johnny “Jayjay” Paige, Chris and Roy “Boo” Walker, James “Jay” Gibson, Grayson Gullett, and DJ Browning.

Special words from his grandsons are:

“We got it from here Paw, Time for you to rest”

Roy will be missed forever. 

“I Love You Daddy, your baby girl Chrissy will see you on the other side.”
