Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Earl M. Walker, 77, passed away on April 29, 2019 after a long and valiant battle with pulmonary fibrosis. He was born in Wilmington, Delaware on October 15, 1941.
Earl was an Army veteran who served in Germany and a UCLA graduate earning both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. He joined the CIA as an Intelligence Officer in the late 1960’s and served in posts in both Europe and the United States. He also served one tour as an instructor at the CIA’s training facility. He retired as a member of the Senior Intelligence Service in 1994 and was awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Medal. From 1994 until 2015 he was engaged as a consultant to a political risk company and as a contractor for both CIA and the US State Department. During this period he traveled extensively to over 16 different countries including such remote locations as Mongolia. He also thoroughly enjoyed his work as an instructor and mentor with the CIA’s new generation of Intelligence Officers.
Earl is survived by his wife of 30 years, Kathy Hendrix; sons Doug (Lisa and her children Suzanne and Daniel Jutras) and Don (Michelle) and his granddaughter Sadie; his brother John (Patsy) and sister Alice (Corbin Young) nieces Susan, Amanda and Nellie; and one nephew John.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Memorial Mass to be held 10 a.m., Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at Holy Cross Catholic Church and the reception to follow at Quail Valley River Club, have both been canceled.
In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to the VNA Hospice Foundation, 1110 35th Lane, Vero Beach 32960 or to the Salvation Army at 2655 5th Street SW, Vero Beach, FL 32962.
