of Lexa, AR
January 14, 2004 - August 31, 2023
Carson Kane Walker, age 19, passed from this life on August 31st, 2023. Carson was born on January 14, 2004 to Danette Walker of Lexa and Tony Byrd of Helena. Carson was lovingly raised by his maternal grandparents, Donna and JayBock Rohrscheib of Lexa.
From birth, Carson was a fighter having his first open heart surgery at just six weeks old. As Carson turned one year old, he had his second open heart surgery. He grew into a happy, loving toddler. At the age of 13, Carson underwent a third open heart surgery.
Carson began his school years at Marvell Academy in the K4 program and continued there until he graduated in 2022. His love of sports helped him excel as a wide receiver for the MA Eagles, where he proudly wore the number 10 jersey. One of Carson's favorite activities was watching the Arkansas Razorback football games with his beloved "Bock".
In addition to sports, Carson loved listening to music and strumming on his guitar. He would often say, "Hey, Nonna, listen to these lyrics".
In the winter months, he enjoyed deer hunting with his Papaw Dan.
As much as Carson enjoyed these activities, none brought him as much joy as being a big brother to Bella. Their sibling bond was a deeply loving and protective one.
On September 2, 2012, Carson accepted Christ and by baptism, made First Baptist Church of Marvell his church home.
He is survived by his mother, Danette Walker of Lexa, Arkansas and father, Tony Byrd of Helena, Arkansas; one sister, Bella Walker of Lexa, Arkansas; grandparents, Donna and JayBock Rohrscheib of Lexa, Arkansas; Great grandmother, Baby Jo Culp; a Special cousin, Casey Wilburn that he looked up to and his girlfriend, Kynsley Wooten. He is also survived by extended family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Dan Walker.
Funeral services will be Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at 2 P.M. at First Baptist Church, Marvell, Arkansas. Burial will be at Sunset Memorial Park, West Helena, Arkansas.
Pallbearers will be Reece Travis, Brenton Morgan, Hunter Hayes, Michael Gregory, Matthew Gregory, Trey Wiggins and Patrick McCall.
The family of Carson would like to invite everyone to a Celebration of Life on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at 5 P.M. at First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, Marvell, Arkansas.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorials be made to, First Baptist Church of Marvell, Marvell Academy, or LeBonheur Hospital.

Mrs. Donna, Mr. JayBock and family...Emmett and I are so sorry for this devastating loss you are suffering. We've watched him grow up along side Austin in school and in football through the years and it just pains us to know you are all going through this. There is comfort in the fact that he was a Christian and that we will see him in Heaven. We are praying for you...for strength and solace in all the days to come.

Carson is one of those students I will never forget. Even after I left teaching I’d run into him from time to time and he’d always have a smile on his face and say “hi Mrs. Sarah!†I am so very sorry, Mrs. Donna and family. Much love and many prayers being lifted up! -Sarah
