For the past 19 years, Walker was a partner with the law firm of Jackson Walker in San Antonio, where he was head of the litigation section for all of the Jackson Walker offices. He was licensed to practice law in Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico, as well as numerous federal district and federal appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

He was a devoted Christian, a child of God, and a committed member of Christ Episcopal Church. Walker loved to be outdoors, whether hiking the Grand Canyon (after several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation) or gardening, and he loved baseball. He had a passion for the peace and tranquility of fly-fishing in the clear waters of beautiful rivers, which was a reflection of the way he lived his life-calmly, methodically, serenely-appreciating the beauty and serenity of God's creation around him, which gave him the ultimate grace for which he was known by all. Walker is now healed, free of cancer, and he dwells in the presence of God in His Eternal Kingdom. Bishop Brent wrote, "Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and Death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight." Walker is now on the other side of the horizon just beyond our human sight, and he joyfully worships God in the Father's presence alongside those who have gone before him.
