H. Glenn Walker

Decatur ~ H. Glenn Walker, 62, a retired musician, went to be with our Lord Friday, March 29, 2019, in Decatur.

Memorial service is 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 6, 2019 at Hawkins Funeral Chapel in Decatur.

Glenn was born on February 24, 1957, to Lonnie and Marie (Van) Walker in Mobile, Alabama. He was united in marriage to Leesa Cravens on March 9, 1998, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was a member of the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Decatur, and proudly served his country in the US Navy.

Glenn did everything to the maximum. Having a weekly radio show at 4 years old was just the start of a music career that continued with playing guitar and singing with Grand Ole Opry performers, politicians, and filling stadiums. Competing in martial arts was another outstanding area as he fought on a national level. He drove city buses, tour buses, and big rigs logging thousands of miles without a single moving violation. Of course his pursuit of excellence continued with his interest in firearms and becoming an NRA certified instructor in every firearms category except black powder, all safety programs, and as a Chief Range Safety Officer. He was particularly proud of being a Texas LTC Instructor. A natural storyteller, Glenn entertained us with his stories and his skilled close up magic specializing in coins and cards. Glenn was a man of integrity and generosity. He will be missed.

He was preceded in death by; his parents; his sister, and his brother.

Those left behind to cherish his memory are his wife of 21 years, Leesa Cravens of Decatur; his daughters, Sara Hall and husband Ted of Euless, and Erica Pepper and husband Ben of Whiteville, TN; his grandchildren, Alex and Ellie Hall, and Robben Pepper; his sisters, Grace Palmer,  Faye Rose, and Von Pickett; numerous nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.
