Roney Charles Walker, 61, of Rocky Point passed from his earthly life unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 5, 2015.

He was born August 12, 1953 in Wilmington, the son of the late Roney Caleb and Mary Lynn Sutton Walker.

Charles is survived by his loving family: his wife of 12 years, Alana Walker; children, Rita Jane Walker, Jamie Walker and Amanda Walker Cradic (Daniel); step-children, Deanna Eakins (Michael) and Deidra Cole (Jason); grandchildren, Buddy Murray, Caleb Cradic, Taylor Cradic, Maelyn Cradic, Luke Eakins, Abigail Cole, Mia Eakins and Levi Cole; great grandson, Braxton Murray; sister, Linda Knowles (Larry); brother, Jimmy Walker (Vicky); mother-in-law, Brenda Bishop; and several nieces and nephews.

Charles was employed with Gilford Performance Textiles by Lear in Kenansville.

Charles was a devoted husband and loving daddy, granddad, brother and friend. His grandchildren brought great joy into his life. He was a diligent worker and took wonderfully good care of his family. When Charles was not working which was most of the time, he enjoyed being outdoors and kept an immaculate yard. He had a kind heart, a warm smile and a feisty sense of humor that could brighten any rainy day. Charles' sudden departure has left an empty place at our family table, in our family circle, and especially in our hearts.
