Mr. Frederick Walker passed on Monday, June 12, 2023.

Frederick "Shaq" Walker was raised in the church and served as a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord.

Frederick "Shaq" Walker attended school in both Lamar and Monroe Counties.

As his first coach, Frederick "Shaq" Walker's dad, Tango, instilled in him a love for sports. Shaq was an extraordinary athlete who enjoyed participating in various sports. However, he truly excelled and dominated on the football field.

As a player for the Lamar County High School Trojans, Frederick "Shaq" Walker gained notoriety for his athletic prowess as he proudly wore Jersey #79.

Shaq was heavily scouted and had offered to play for many Division I colleges and universities. He eventually accepted a full athletic scholarship to play for the Colorado State University Rams.

As passionate as Frederick "Shaq" Walker was about football, he was even more devoted to his family and friends. Even though he usually stood head and shoulders above most, his outgoing, well-mannered, and always willing to go the extra mile caused him to often be described as a "big teddy bear." Shaq is loved and will be missed by many.

Our prayers and thoughts are with his family: his mother Wanda (Jonathan) Myrick, Forsyth, Georgia; his father Frederick "Tango" (Tonya) Walker, Sr., Barnesville; his brothers Timothy Smith and Jonathan Myrick, both of Forsyth, Georgia, Jamontis Nolley, Covington, Georgia, and Trey (Alteria) Williams, Barnesville; his grandparents Nattie Collins and Charles (Brenda) Adams, Barnesville; his aunts Tammie (Lebo) Adams and Angie (Kenny) Munford, Barnesville, Nikki (James) Lyons, Forsyth, Georgia, and Andrea Banks, Griffin, Georgia; his uncles Homer Lyons, Jr., Forsyth, Georgia, Kelvin (Nan) Adams, Carlos Adams, and Carlton Adams, all of Barnesville, and Erick Foster, Thomaston, Georgia, and a host of family, friends, and teammates.

Trice Funeral Home Of Barnesville will be in charge of all arrangements.

Please Keep The Walker Family in your prayers.
