WALKER, David Barry

It is with great sadness that we, the family of David Barry Walker, regret to announce his sudden passing on Monday, July 4, 2016, due to a motor vehicle accident.

Born July 12, 1950, in Sydney, he was a son of the late Angus and Lena (Crane) Walker.

For many years, David was the owner/operator of his own truck with Atlas Van Lines, finishing his career driving for S & M Trucking.

He is survived by his wife, Debby (Hartigan); daughter, Tania (Will) Nicholas, Alta.; son, Chris (Tonya), Sydney; stepdaughters, Stephanie Hartigan (Charlie) and Jamie Nicholson; sisters, Violet (Mike) Ostafichuk, Sydney, Lena (Ron) Walker, Ont. and Eleanor (Fred) Collicut, Chester, N.S.; brother, Winston (Gerry), Ont.; 13 grandchildren; many nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, David was predeceased by his sisters, Anne Ivany, Elsie Walker and Kay Taylor; brothers, George, Ira, Angie, and Lloyd.

A family graveside service will take place in Riverview Cemetery at a later date.

Memorials may be made to the Diabetes Association of Nova Scotia.

We would like to thank the staff of the Renal Dialysis Unit at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital for the wonderful care they provided David.
