David McConnell Walker, 70, of North Little Rock passed away on Friday, June 10, 2022. He was born on May 13, 1952 in Nashville, Arkansas to the late Dan and Jean Walker.
David graduated from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville with a degree in Bachelor of Science.

As a family man, David was even more involved with the activities and important events of his children, grandchildren and his daughters-in-law. Anything to do with his family, he was always present and never missed an opportunity to support them.

I'm sad that I just now saw this. David was a good man and a Good Resident Engineer. I had the honor of getting to know him many years ago at the AHTD. My condolences to his family and friends. God Bless you all.

So very sorry to hear about Mr Walkers death. I remember him being a very kind soul to everyone and had a fierce love for his family and our Lord Jesus. Unfortunately I can’t attend the service but I’m praying that the Lotd will wrap you in His love and that you will be pleased with Tim speaking at his funeral to honor his life.
