John Walker Obituary

John Chisolm Walker, Jr. JOHNS ISLAND - John Chisolm Walker, Jr., 39, of Johns Island, passed away on Wednesday, October 29, 2014. He was born on October 30, 1974 in Kingstree, SC, to the late Betty Keels Walker and the late John Chisolm Walker, Sr. Chisolm thrived in the fullness that life has to offer. His life was enriched by fatherhood, his devotion to family and the pleasure he found boating and fishing, perhaps nowhere more so than on the waters surrounding Charleston. It was his nature to meet and converse with all those he encountered, and his ability to share his warmth and exuberance so readily with others-regardless of their station in life-that resulted in countless friendships that spanned many years and many miles. Chisolm is survived by his loving wife of 6 years, Brooke Gano Walker of Johns Island, SC; his son, Griffin Lee Walker of Johns Island, SC; one sister, Arlene Walker Vecellio and her husband, Nick, of Rock Hill, SC; two nephews: Nick and Nolyn Vecellio of Rock Hill, SC; and one niece, McKenzie Vecellio of Rock Hill, SC. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 2014, at 4:30pm, at The Church of the Holy Cross, 2520 Middle Street, Sullivan's Island, SC 29482. A reception will follow. Arrangements have been entrusted to PALMETTO CREMATION SOCIETY, 11 Cunnington Avenue, Charleston, SC 29405 (843) 722-2555. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston
