Dakota Jean Walker
Our sweet daughter, Dakota Jean Walker, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at the age of 3.
Born on November 30, 2021, Kota filled every day with joy, laughter, and love. She was determined, sassy, and fearless, a little adventurer who loved to swim, dance, and climb on everything she could. Kota was happiest when she was playing with her friends at daycare, cuddling her pets Bandit, Lola, Rogue, Pepper, and Pancake, or simply being surrounded by her family.
Kota is deeply loved and will be forever missed by her parents, Chloe Kissner and Jason Walker, her grandparents Craig and Veronica Walker, and Peter and Christina Belmonte. She leaves behind a large circle of family and friends who will carry her memory and spirit in their hearts.
There will be a visitation at 9:00 A.M. on Monday, September 15, 2025, in the chapel of Crowder Funeral Home, 2422 E. Broadway St, Pearland, Texas 77581. With a celebration of Dakota’s life starting at 11:00 A.M., followed by a burial at Galveston Memorial Park in Hitchcock, Texas.
Guests are encouraged to wear pink, floral patterns, princess dresses if you choose, or bright colors to reflect the joy and light Kota brought into this world.
“Though her time with us was far too short, Dakota’s joy, strength, and light will live on forever in all who love her.”
Uncle Caleb will always love you and think of you
Never got to meet you but I’m certain you would of been such a joy to see run around. Fly high little angel and know Uncle Keith misses you regardless
Love you forever, Kota bug. Say hi to Clare bear for me💗
Nothing is more devastating than the loss of a child. I pray for much comfort in this . She is now an angel in heaven, and socializing with Jesus, and all of his angels. She is also talking with family, who have come before her. Please take much comfort with that. Eventually, we all will see the precious members of our families. She is now an angel with wings, and loving heaven. ❤️
I’ll cherish every moment I had with you. I miss you so much. Until we meet again my sweet sweet Princess.
You are and will be so missed little one. Keep watching over your momma and all of us from up there.
Say Hi to Alex for me! He’ll watch over you in the meantime 💝
You can call him Chin, he will understand 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Craig, Chris and I are heart broken for you and your family. We pray for you and your family through this difficult time.
To my Princess Dakota,
There are no words that can truly hold the weight of losing you. In the short time that you have been with us, you filled my heart with a lifetime of love. You made me better all around. You were my light, my joy, my little miracle—and being your Nonno was the greatest gift I’ve ever been given which was a privilege and honor, it was my superpower.
I remember your laughter like music, your tiny hands reaching for mine, the way your eyes sparkled with curiosity and wonder. You taught me more about love than I ever thought possible. You made every moment brighter, everyday worth more. I would give anything to hold you again like the night before when you spent it with Nonno and Mormor, to hear you call my name, to see you dance in kitchen in your yellow princess dress or pretend to be working in my office and finding your selfies on my work phone.
Though you’re no longer here in my arms, you will always be in my heart. I will carry you with me in everything I do. I see you in the stars, in the flowers, in the quiet moments when the world slows down and I feel you near. You are part of me, Dakota, like this lullaby I sang you the night before—forever.
I promise to keep your memory alive. I’ll speak your name with love, share your stories with pride, and live in a way that honors the joy you brought into this world. You were—and always will be—my little princess.
Until we meet again, my sweet girl.
With all my love, Nonno 💔🙏🏼✝️🥲
