Obituary for John Sumner Walker
John Sumner Walker, 58, passed away at his home in Pace, Florida on September 5, 2018. Friends and family may call on Sunday, September 9th from 2 to 4 pm. The funeral is on Monday, September 10th at 1:00 pm. Both visitation and funeral will be at Lewis Funeral Home, 4777 Spencer Field Road, in Pace, FL.
John was born in Pensacola on August 15, 1960 to his surviving parents, Harry and Judy Walker. He was a graduate of Woodham High School and the University of West Florida before marrying Cindy Flanders in 1987. The couple soon made their family home in Pace where they have remained for 26 years.
“Johnny Walker”, as he was known to his customers, excelled in the field of sales. He won numerous awards and accolades over the course of a 25-year sales career and spent the last 15 years in pharmaceutical sales. He retired from Bristol Myers-Squibb in January.
John especially loved baseball and umpired in the community for players of all ages - from little league to college. He continued to umpire until his family and career became his priority. Besides his wife, John is survived by his daughters: Morgan Walker Ingram and her husband, Preston, of Tuscaloosa, AL, and Marissa Walker, of Pace.
He is also survived by an elder sister and brother, Cindi (Scott) Manley, of Roswell, GA, Harry Walker II, of Pensacola, and a younger sister, Suzanne McCullough, of Lynchburg, VA. He is just as loved and missed by his Flanders family, Dot and Butch, and is preceded in death by his father-in-law, Fred Flanders.
John will always be a dearly loved uncle to: Madison, Jordan and Harry Walker III, of Pensacola, Jack Manley, of Glen Burnie, MD, Sarah McCullough, of Minneapolis, MN, Cole Flanders and Luke (Hayley) Flanders of Pace. He is preceded in death by his nephew, Mitchell Manley, of Roswell, GA. He is great-uncle to Ellie Mae and Sadie Rae Flanders, of Pace. He will also be greatly missed by a host of extended family and friends who reside locally and across the U.S.
Honorary pallbearers for the service include: Dave Bisceglio, Chris Collins, Butch, Cole and Luke Flanders, Mark Humphreys, Preston Ingram, Jack Manley and Harry Walker II.
In lieu of flowers, tax-deductible donations may be made in John’s name to Ronald McDonald House (RMHC of Northwest Florida, Inc. 5200 Bayou Blvd, Pensacola, 32503) at rmhc.org or Miracle League of Pensacola, 555 East 9 Mile Road, Pensacola, FL 32514 or miracleleaguepensacola.net. Thank you.
