WALKER, JOHNNY R. On August 30, 2014, Bernalillo County Fire Fighter, Johnny R. Walker, was called for his last alarm. He is survived by his spouse, Ginger Walker of Cedar Crest; children, Morgan and Madison Walker and Wyatt Briggs; mother Mary and husband Jack Creighton of Belen; brothers, Jerry Walker and wife Beth of New Bern, NC; and Gary Creighton and wife, Ginger, of Portales; sisters, Debra Lewis and husband Hank of Portland, TX; and Sharon Jaynes and husband, Jim of Los Lunas. Mr. Walker was preceded in death by his father, Lee Roy Walker. Johnny, 57, a long-term resident of Cedar Crest was a Lieutenant in the Bernalillo County Fire department and served for 24 years. Johnny was also in the process of becoming a Taskforce Leader for the Wildland Firefighting team when he succumbed to cancer. If you ever heard "Fire Inspection!", Johnny was close by. Most importantly, Johnny had the biggest heart and would never say an unkind word about anyone. He was loved by all who met him and will be missed, especially, as Johnny would say, by his "beautiful bride". Johnny was the love of Ginger's life. Together they shared a vision for their picturesque mountain property; a project on which they were working when Johnny passed. With the help of his brothers and sisters from the Fire Department their vision will become a reality and he will soon be able to view the finished project from heaven. Special thanks to the BCFD Fire Department, BCSO brothers and sisters, and APSPD and APS colleagues who have helped through this time. Johnny will be honored by the Bernalillo County Commission with a Proclamation declaring September 9th as "Johnny Walker Day". This event is open to the public and we encourage any and all who would like to honor Johnny to join us at 10 am at Station 46. Services will be held Wednesday, Sept 10, 2014 at 4:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church at 314 Lead Ave SW.
