Frederick “Fritz” Warren Walker

Frederick “Fritz” Warren Walker, age 94, passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 28, 2016, in Oakdale, Calif. He was born on June 21, 1921, in Tobias, Nebr. A WWII Army vet, he loved his country and proudly put up the American flag every morning. After years of farming, he moved to California, and ran his own tractor excavation company for 37 years.

Fritz was a long time resident of Fallbrook. He loved and served our Lord Jesus and helped build the Fallbrook Presbyterian Church (now SonRise Church). He touched many lives volunteering for many years at the YMCA, hospital auxiliary, food bank, and Carlsbad Flower Fields. He loved traveling, playing cards, woodcarving, spending time with family and having donuts with his friends.

Friza was preceded in death by his lifelong love, wife Deloris (married 67 years), and daughter Marta Bonker. He is survived by four children, Sandra Price, Warren (Marineada) Walker, Barbara (Rick) Roath, Paul (Lisa) Walker, and son-in-law Dan Bonker; 14 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.

He gave us life, love, laughter and lasting wisdom. He will be greatly missed. We are all who we are because of our Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, and dear friend. A celebration of life service will be held at 11 a.m. on May 21 at SonRise Church, 463 S. Stage Coach Ln., Fallbrook.
