In Memory
BRANDON D. WALKER
Sept. 3, 1985 - June 10, 2009
SOUTH BEND - Brandon DeAnthony Walker, 23, residing in South Bend, passed away on June 10, 2009, due to a sudden illness. Brandon was born September 3, 1985, in Michigan City, IN, and moved to South Bend in 1993 with his family.
He attended Washington High School and was in the Step Team. He later went to the Job Corps where he received his certificate for computer programming. He was an employee of McDonald's.
Brandon is survived by his loving mother, Carol D. Johnson of Mishawaka; father, Michael Lee Neal of Michigan City; a loving sister and brother, Roylin (Cecil) Hall and DeAndre L. Coleman of South Bend. Also surviving are his grandfather, Mack C. Walker of Missouri; a special and loving uncle, Darrell L. Walker, as well as two other uncles, Mack Walker Jr. and Murray Bishop, all of South Bend; two aunts, Marcie A. Ferrell of Lawrenceville, GA, and Gail Timberlake of South Bend; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends; and three godsisters, Brandee Fisher, Khendra Fuller and Danyel Fuller, all of South Bend. My son gave his life to God in 2000 in South Bend.
As we say goodbye to him, he is home now where he is joined with a very special grandmother, Ruby L. Walker, aunts, Barbara L. Walker, Darlene Walker, and a niece, DeNeja Coleman.
My son, you were truly a blessing to us and all who knew you, and those you touched. Although my heart is broken in a million pieces, my soul rests, because for you my son, there is no more pain and suffering because God had always known what was best. So you rest now my son. I am not saying goodbye, I'll see you later with that big, pretty smile. Love Mama and Family.
Services will be at 2:30 p.m. Monday, June 15th, in the Palmer Funeral Home-River Park, 2528 Mishawaka Ave., South Bend, with Rev. Daryl Murdock officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to services Monday. All flowers and cards are to be sent to the Palmer Funeral Home. A special thanks to the staff of Memorial Hospital and Hospice House.
"You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother's body. How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. None of my bones was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother's body... You planned how many days I would live. You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them." Psalm 139: 13-16
