Ryan Kenneth Walker – March 28, 2011 – September 18, 2011

Ryan Kenneth Walker was born on March 28, 2011 to Dale Brian and Jennifer Ann (Haas) Walker in Rexburg, Idaho. Ryan’s older brother, Robert James “RJ”, welcomed him home with a lot of love.

From the time he was born, Ryan was a happy baby…always full of life and love. He always greeted family and friends with a huge smile and sometimes a giggle. In his short 5 month life on Earth, Ryan greatly blessed the lives of those around him. Ryan will always be remembered as a happy, energetic, and loving son and brother.

Ryan returned Home to our Father in Heaven peacefully and unexpectedly on September 18, 2011 in Rigby, Idaho surrounded by loving parents and his brother.

Ryan was preceded in death by maternal grandparents, Kenneth Eugene and Connie Sue (Rupp) Haas; an uncle, James “Jimmy” Kenneth Haas; and great-grandfathers, James Porter Rupp, Robert William Haas, Eugene Walker, and Francis Gokey.

Ryan is survived by parents, Dale and Jennifer (Haas) Walker; one brother, RJ Walker; paternal grandparents, Brian and Carol (Gokey) Walker; great-grandmothers, Ramona Rupp, Marjorie Haas, Beatrice Walker, and Rita Gokey; and several aunts, uncles, cousins, and great aunts and uncles.
