Byron Paul Walker Sr., 83, from Nederland, passed away on Sunday October 3, 2021 in Christus Southeast Texas – St. Elizabeth, Beaumont.
He was born August 16, 1938 in Port Arthur, son of Emelie Marie Provost Walker and Irven Joeseph Walker Sr.
Byron was a United States National Guard veteran and a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus.
He was a faithful member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, Nederland.
Involved in his church, Byron was a reader for many years and taught religious education for many years.
With God first and foremost in his life, Byron hastened to help others in need, selflessly volunteering time and money for the benefit of others.
An avid reader and history buff, he was involved in the history of Galveston, renovated a historic home, worked on the Elissa, and supported the Galveston Historical Foundation.
As a parent and grandparent, “Daddy / Grandpa” has been deeply involved in exposing his family to the world outside of Jefferson County.
From an instructor at Lamar to working in the petrochemical industry, Byron has affected the lives and careers of many in the region.
Apart from his faith, there was nothing more precious to him than his sweet wife, Delia.
Inseparable at 63, they hardly stood out.
No one has ever complimented each other like when they were together.
Proud of his accomplishments, his dearest was to find the love of his life and to spend the many years by his side on the adventure he called life.
Survivors include his wife, Delia Walker, of Nederland; children, Mayna Premeaux and husband, Joel, of Galveston; Laren Bush and her husband, Jim, of Jasper; Renay Wilson and husband, Christian, of Colmesneil; and Byron Walker, Jr. and his wife, Aaran, of Groves; grandchildren, Lacy Benoit and husband, Zeke Grimes, of Anchorage, Alaska; Shane Benoit, of Houston; Mariah Parise and husband, Caleb, of Beaumont; and Paige Acuña and her husband, Joe, of League City; great-granddaughter, Lilah Acuña; and siblings, Irven Walker, Jr (deceased) and wife, Janet Walker of Port Arthur, Kenneth Walker and wife, Carolyn, of Houston; Lowell Walker and his wife, Sheila, of Nederland; Dian Cole, of Port Arthur; Gregory Walker and his wife, Tenna, of Bridge City; and Bernadette Cascio and her husband, John, of Beaumont.
