Walker Hendrix was my half brother. My father was Walker C. Stewart. Over the last several years I have tried to find him. For some reason I tried again today and was so surprised to see that he had recently passed. I never saw him very often, but remember his great sense of humor. My condolences to Linda and the rest of the family.
Becky, I’m so sorry, I was unable to find your phone No. to get in touch with you!!
We moved back to the coast, Santa Fe, Texas a couple of years ago when Walker started getting sick, Heart Trouble. His Heart Doctor had him on Eliquis, which caused him to have a Subdural Hemorrhage on his Brain. He did have Brain Surgery, but only lived about a week after! Please let Linda know. you can get in touch with on FB Ovie Linda Stewart. Thank you for your Condolences. Walker Loved you!
Becky,
Thank you for your condolences. Sorry I was enable to get in touch with you & family! Walker had Heart Problems, like his Dad. His heart Dr. had him on Eliquis for several years, causing a Subdural Hemorrhage on his brain. He did have Brain Surgery, however only lived about a week after. Please let Linda know about Walker as I do not know how to get in touch with her. Please stay in touch.
Dear Linda & family,
I am a half-sister of Walker’s. He used to check on my mother Marilyn a couple of times a year. He was such a sweetheart that way. My mother was incapacitated and I tried to reach out.That was when I discovered all my mother’s contact information was wrong. My sister Becky and I looked for he and Linda I am saddened that this was the way we found them.
He was truly one of a kind. I enjoyed being with him every time I had the opportunity. I send my deepest sympathy to Linda who I remember fondly and the rest of Walker’s family. With love and prayers for peace and comfort. 215-960-7668
