It is with great sadness that the family of Ryan Walker, with cerebral palsy at the age of 31 has sadly left our world on July 12, 2024.

He attended Kingsley Montgomery Center School in the SXI program until the age of 18.

He was able to live a long and healthy life at home with his family. He was bought into this family and the world for a reason. He was special from the beginning of times and will forever be special in so many people's hearts and lives that he touched. He has taught us so much in his own special way. He had such a sweetness about him and had such a laugh when he laughed that was contagious. He liked the car drives with the music and the wind blowing in his face. He liked his cartoons and had to have his drinking cup in his hand always and had such a grasp on it and wouldn't let go. He could've been blind and knew where it was at all times. So many delightful and fond memories that will forever be in our hearts. His legacy will forever always be how he has not only changed our lives for the better but has made a forever lasting impact on them just for his place and role in all of our lives. We were all so blessed and grateful for him and he was so deeply loved and will never be forgotten.

He is survived by his mother Shawn Walker, brothers Matthew Walker (Ali) and Devan Nutt, along with aunts, uncles, cousins and even a nephew and niece.

There will not be a funeral service. The family will have a private celebration of his life and burial. He will be buried next to his grandparents, Clair and Mary Clark, in the Ortonville Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers please make donations payable to Shawn Clark-Walker for burial and headstone expenses.
