Celebration of
Love, Life, and Laughter
Our beloved Clinton Clint Lawrence Walker, Sr. was the third born child
of Willis James Walker, Sr., and Almeta Walker, on September 17, 1946.
During his early years, he excelled in academics and athletics. He was a
proud band member of the Lucy C. Laney Marching Band and would go
on to become a lifetime lover of learning. He had an extraordinary sense
of humor and strong sense of purpose. Clint was inclusive and embraced
everyone.
During his tenure at Paine College, he met and married the love of his life,
Dwala Reid. Clint was an honorary graduate of Paine College (C/O 68) with
a degree in Microbiology. In 1968, he was offered an academic fellowship
to attend Howard University and would later graduate from the University
of the District of Columbia with a degree in Philosophy and Theology.
Professionally, Clint was consistently recognized through various esteemed
awards, honors, and promotions within the fields of Pharmaceutical Sales
and Real Estate Brokerage. He went on to earn several degrees. After
many years in the Pharmaceutical Industry, Clint pursued and attained a
profession in School Counseling and retired from the Richmond County
School System in 2009.
He was a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Clint will always be known
and remembered for his magnetic sense of humor and his impeccable ability
to provide sound and practical advice. He lived an intentional life and was
grounded through a strong-sense of family. Spiritually, he was a practicing
Christian, and at a young age, joined Williams Memorial Christian
Methodist Episcopal (C.M.E.) Church.
He was logical, observant, thoughtful, courageous, determined, and a strong
leader. Clinton was a world-class man, one who embarked on many firsts
throughout his life. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed fishing,
harpooning, cross-country skiing, and deep sea and scuba diving. He was a
joyous and jovial friend and confidante. Clinton L. Walker, Sr. was a fighter
and despite circumstances, he never gave up nor complained.
He leaves a lifetime of joyous memories, having touched so many lives -
imparting upon each person he met - his love for life, his sense of logic, and
his witty charismatic humor. His legacy includes a host of family members
and close friends. He is survived by: beloved wife, Dwala; three daughters,
Kimberly Walker (John Watkins), Katharine Walker, and Kysha Garrett
(Dwayne Garrett); and one brother, Charles Walker (Ann Walker).
In addition to his parents, Willis James Walker, Sr. and Almeta Walker,
he was preceded in death by: one son, Clinton Lawrence Walker, Jr.; three
brothers, Dr. Willis J. Walker, Jr., Dr. Michael W. Walker, and Barry W.
Walker (Gloria Walker).
Included among those left to cherish his memory are: nine grandchildren,
Morgan Walker-Mixon, Michael Watkins, Mikala Watkins, Miah Watkins,
Brandon Walker, Joshua Kerr (Misha), Christian Garrett, Kingsley Garrett,
and Camille Garrett; one great-grandson, Lincoln Watkins; lifelong friend,
Joseph Moore (Dorothy Moore); and a wealth of cherished family members
and friends both near and far.
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may he,
for my unconquerable soul.
/
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears,
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years,
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley
