Richard (Rick) Wayne Walker

1951 - 2026

    It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Rick Walker of Sherwood Park, AB on February 10th, 2026 at the age of 74. He was surrounded by loving family members and passed away peacefully after complications from a vehicle accident on January 4th. Rick was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, and a loyal friend. His reputation can only be described as genuine, sociable, and always ready for a joke. He found fulfillment in his career of financial planning; not only in the work, but in the lasting connections he made with colleagues and clients. 

He was born December 19th, 1951 to parents William (Bill) and Bernice Walker in Edmonton and lived in the Edmonton area his entire life. He was the oldest of six children with younger brothers Bruce, Glenn, David, Keith, and sister Diane. Rick lived a life with purpose, loved to travel, and nurtured the lifelong friendships he developed throughout his life. 

He is survived by his spouse Donna Lynne Erickson, his daughters Teri (Tom) Pecek, and Laura (Rob Williams) Harrison. He leaves behind two grandchildren Evan and Emily Pecek. And in recent years three more daughters Dawn, Shannon (Danny), Erica, and ten additional cherished grandchildren.

Rick was predeceased by his parents, his late wife (Laurie), his sister (Diane), son-in-law (Brad), and many more treasured family and friends.  

A celebration of life will be held Friday February 27th at 11:00 am in the Moonflower Room at the Enjoy Centre at 101 Riel Drive in St. Albert, Alberta  (Entrance 1) 

Everyone is welcome to attend and stay for refreshments following the program.
