Arlie Dale Allen Walker, age 52, born July 13, 1974 of Elliot County, Kentucky, passed away Saturday, September 5, 2026 at his residence.
Today, we remember a man who lived with strength, determination, and true grit.
He was a man who knew the value of hard work and standing by what he believed was right. He faced life’s challenges with courage and perseverance and carried a strong sense of integrity throughout his life.
As a father, he loved his children in his own way and was proud of the people they became. As a grandfather, he found a special kind of joy in his grandchildren. They brought out a tenderness in him that was deeply genuine, and the memories they made together will remain a part of them always.
He was not a perfect man, because none of us are. But he was a father, a grandfather, and an important part of our family story. His strength, determination, and values will continue through the generations he leaves behind.
He is survived by his children and the Mother of his children Tara Kidd: Brittany (Michael) Cornwell, Zach (Kylee) Walker, Lauren Walker, Austin Walker, Nicky (Katie) Walker, Rebecca (Peyton) Dew, Gracie Walker, and Arlie (Lucas) Walker, along with his grandchildren, who brought him great pride and joy. And proceeded in death by his daughter Chloe, and Mother Marjoye. With a slew of grandchildren, Blu, Mason, Tate, Tripp, Harper, River, Linley, Blayklynn, Kinsley, Indie, Grayson, Cason, Colson and future Baby Dew. Elizabeth Eldridge and JT Eldridge, whom he adored, along with several brothers and sisters.
In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by one daughter, Chloe Walker; three infant grandchildren and one sister, Tonya Moore.
Today, we say goodbye with love and gratitude for the life he lived, the lessons he left behind, and the memories that will remain with us.
His legacy lives on in his children and grandchildren—in the strength they carry, the lives they lead, and the generations still to come.
May he rest peacefully. He will be remembered, and he will always be a part of the family he helped create.
