R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may
temper the profound sadness felt by the loved ones of David Walker,
who died on January 7, 2011, at the age of 59; and
WHEREAS, "Lee" Walker was born in Austin on January 27, 1951,
to Odis and Nelda Walker; as a young man, he loved playing sports,
especially baseball; he graduated from Reagan High School in 1969;
and
WHEREAS, Pursuing an interest in aviation, Mr. Walker trained
as a pilot at Central Texas College, earning his associate's degree
in applied science in 1972; he went on to join his family's
business, Walker Tire Company, in Austin, where he worked for
nearly 40 years; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Walker enjoyed spending time with his family and
friends, and he delighted in telling humorous stories about his
hunting and fishing exploits; a resident of Dripping Springs, he
was an active member of Wimberley Church of Christ; and
WHEREAS, This devoted husband and father will be deeply
missed, but the generosity, loyalty, and unconditional love he
exhibited toward others will forever inspire all who had the good
fortune to know him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of David "Lee" Walker and

Walker.
