Though his time with us was brief, his presence left an unforgettable mark on all those who knew him. While growing up, Adrian first resided in Battle Creek and attended Battle Creek Public Schools. While in Battle Creek as a child he was a member of the Sojourner Truth Choir. He spent late elementary and some middle school at Kalamazoo Public Schools which included becoming an Eagle at Hillside Junior High School before returning back to Battle Creek and becoming a Bearcat at Battle Creek Central High School. He also attended WK Preparatory Academy in Battle Creek, MI. After turning 18, Adrian spent some time in Job Corps in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While always seeking new opportunities, Adrian moved most recently to Tampa, Florida. Known to close family as AJ or Nu Nu, Adrian, throughout his childhood, was always willing to do whatever it took to make everyone laugh. His silly antics brought smiles to everyone’s faces, and he was always looking for the next way to bring humor to any situation. Adrian grew into a caring and compassionate young man who would help anyone who needed it. He had a genuine love for his family and friends, and often put the needs of others before his own. Adrian was preceded in death by his grandmother Odessa Willis and grandfathers Amos Walker Sr. and John Haskell. He is survived by his parents Adrian and Shannon Walker, April and Clifford Reid, brothers Ibrahim Konare and Ahmir Walker, sister Ava Walker, grandmother Carrol Haskell, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family.
