"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7.

Dennis Walker was a faithful follower of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was blessed with a beautiful singing voice and spent most of his life as a minister of music at several Baptist churches in south Louisiana. He continued his ministry as a Speech Pathologist, where he offered to pray with every patient he treated. Chances are, if you knew Dennis, he prayed with you as well.

Second to God, his children, and even more so, his grandchildren, were the joys of his life. We are comforted by the fact that his is now reunited with his precious wife, Julie, and they are singing in heaven's choir together. We know without a doubt that God greeted him, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant."

Dennis was born on December 29, 1951 in Denham Springs and passed away on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at the age of 73. He is survived by his daughter Kara Faller (Andrew), daughter Kacie, son Kody (Jenny); grandchildren James and John Faller and Mattie Joy Walker; sisters Marion Carpenter (Joe), Dianne Stilley (Jerry), Sharon Cowan (Herb); sisters-in-law Joycelyn Lemons and Janet Dufreche, brother-in-law Bobby Cortez (Jessica); and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dennis is preceded in death by the love of his life, Julie Cortez Walker, his parents, Roy and Ad Glascock Walker, and his nephews, Stephen Cowan and Larry Lemons, Jr. We will celebrate his life on Monday, January 20th at First Baptist Church of Amite, 117 East Olive Street.
