Memorial

Donald Douglas “Doug” Walker was born to Swede and Carol Walker in 1957. Raised on the family farm in Wiggins, he developed a passion for agriculture and livestock at a young age. After his father’s untimely passing, he and his family moved to Greeley, where Doug would go to work for his admired mentor, Harry Wiedeman, who taught him many valuable lessons in working the land and living life. Shortly after graduating from University High, he met the love of his life, Donna Corsentino. Doug and Donna were married in 1978 and in the coming years farmed in Orchard, Colorado and Dalhart, Texas. Doug custom farmed over 1,000 acres, earned high yield awards, and was recognized by Pioneer Seed Company for his accomplishments. While in Texas, Doug welcomed his daughter Jessi into the world and in the coming years moved the family to Fort Lupton. He went to work at Formby Ford, where he would sell cars alongside family and friends for over a decade. During that time, Doug’s son Paul was born and, in the years to follow, he would enjoy raising his family in the community of Fort Lupton, attending countless school sporting events, science fairs, art shows, and talent shows. Doug enjoyed golfing at Coyote Creek Golf Course, where he was a founding member of the men’s league and also served on the city golf committee. Doug loved the outdoors, camping and fishing, spending time with his beloved mother, road trips, John Wayne movies, and most of all, he loved his wife, children, and grandsons Colten, Bo and Malcolm. 

 

After a lengthy and extraordinarily brave battle with cancer, Doug passed gently in the comfort of his home with the love of his family at his side. 

Doug is survived by his wife Donna Walker, daughter Jessi (Jim) Ruby, son Paul Walker, mother Carol Walker, sister Sharon Midcap, grandsons Colten, Bo and Malcolm, cherished sister and brother in laws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

 

Doug was preceded in death by his father Donald Paul “Swede” Walker, sisters Sandra Jean Walker and Judy Weimer, and stepfather Claude Harvey.

 

Doug’s Celebration of Life gathering will be held on November 2nd from 3pm to 8pm at the Historic Fort Lancaster at South Platte Valley Historical Park - 2001 Historic Park Way, Fort Lupton, CO 80621
