Harold Lynn Walker, Sr., 71, departed this life on May 4, 2026. He was born on April 7, 1955, in Beaumont, Texas, to the late Oveal Walker, Jr. and Irene Walker. Harold was the sixth child born to this union and was affectionately known by many as "Smokey," a name that reflected his warm spirit and unforgettable personality.

Harold was a proud 1973 graduate of Hardin-Jefferson High School, where he was a member of the school's football team. He went on to dedicate nearly 40 years of service to Lower Neches Valley Authority, where he was respected for his hard work, commitment, and dependability.
At an early age, his mother instilled in him the importance of having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Consequently, Harold accepted Christ as his Savior and was baptized at St. Paul Baptist Church in China, Texas, under the leadership of Rev. Collins Brydson.

Harold truly enjoyed life and brought joy wherever he went. He loved hunting, golfing, and barbecuing for family and friends. More than anything, he cherished spending time with his family, especially his beloved granddaughters, whom he adored as "PaPa." Harold was known as the life of the party and was a familiar and beloved presence throughout the China community. His laughter, storytelling, and generous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Oveal Walker, Jr., and Irene Walker; his siblings, Oras Walker, Priscilla Jordan, Catherine Green, and Sylvia Martin; his sister-in-law, Eller Walker; brother-in-law, William Jordan; nephews, Oras Keith Walker and Austin "Trey" Green, and life-long friend and neighbor, Isaiah Harmon.

He leaves to cherish his loving memories: his son, Harold Lynn Walker, Jr. of Houston, Texas; his granddaughters, Ahyanna Walker, Nailah Walker, Kamirah Walker, Myana Libbett; his brothers, Earl Walker, Sr. (Barbara) and Rev. Oveal Walker III, both of Beaumont, Texas; his sister-in-law, Delores Thomas of Beaumont, Texas; his brother-in-law, Gilbert Martin of Conroe, Texas; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and dear friends.

Harold "Smokey" Walker, Sr. leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and community. Though he will be greatly missed, his memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.
