Walker Burton passed on to be with the Lord Jesus Christ on November 13, 2022, at Westview Healthcare. He was 69 years old. Viola Darby Burton of Adelanto California was his mother. He was a grandpa, dad, and husband.
Walker enlisted into the Army shortly after going to Cadet training to be a Police Officer in Hermosa Beach Area in California. Some of his greatest memories were when he had been stationed in Germany. He had been given an Honorable Discharge. After the service, he went to work for Mountain Bell in California.
His interests included being in the Reenactment every Year at Real Bird and also Harden. He even spent some time dressed in the right attire at Fort Fetterman and giving talks at the Sheridan Museum. He loved speaking at Custer’s Battlefield and letting tourists know the history and what happened back in the 1800s.
Another interest was Volkswagens. He started a Volkswagen Club that lasted a short time. He was always modifying and building or replacing parts in the Volkswagen then would sell one and find another one to rebuild. Never a dull moment.
He loved spending time with the family. His surviving family is his wife Liana Burton, Samuel Burton, Brynn Burton, and Kinley Burton of Sheridan Wyoming. His brother Kelly Burton of Apple Valley California and a sister Wendii Burton of Riverside, California.

Walker Kimberly Burton was a delight. We met while he portrayed a soldier during the annual Last Stand Reenactment in Hardin. He accompanied my daughter to the period Military Ball and made lifelong friends from Italy and Scotland. His vacation time was spent in Hardin and Crow Agency where he participated in the parades and Real Bird Reenactment. He portrayed Reno in a special program at the auditorium and gave talks at the Sheridan Inn. I helped him research his family and find long-lost relatives that he hadn’t seen for years. Our friendship continued when he worked at Fort Mackenzie in Sheridan where my father was a patient in the nursing home and my daughter also worked for the VA. I was always to happy to hear from him since he phoned almost daily. His health became an issue and he was forced to retire.
