Walker Jack Rainey
16 February - 10 August 2010

Walker Jack Rainey was granted his angel wings on August 20, 2010.  His final days were spent in the arms of his adoring family.
Seventeen months ago Walker was welcomed into this world by two loving parents who had anxiously awaited his arrival.  Sent with an agenda of warming hearts and opening eyes, he wasted no time doing so.  Walker reminded us of how wonderful, fun, and innocent life can be, and that the value of a life is defined, not by duration, but rather its works and witness.  As God unfolded His plan for Walker's life, He did it in a way that would capture the attention of many people.  It would be in vain to try and summarize all that our Lord has done with this child.  But, those whose lives he touched know precisely.  Perhaps the greatest lesson from Walker's life is the peace and hope that Our Father gives us when we really believe.
Walker enjoyed every little boy's dream of fishing, baseball, bubbles, and ice cream.  Among his favorite things were Go-Gos (turtles), playing in the water, and pointing to things he wanted you to see.  He always lit up a room and put smiles on faces around him.  We anticipate the same scene at the Gates of Heaven, as he is welcomed home.
Walker is survived by his proud and loving parents, Chad and Missy Rainey of McKinney; maternal Grandad and Mimi Mike and Linda Barnes of Sherman; paternal Pops and Gram Lan and Sharron Rainey of Commerce; his Great "NeNaw" Hazel Shrader of Healdton, Oklahoma; Uncle Steve Barnes, Uncle Matt and Aunt Marci Barnes of Dallas; Uncle Lance Rainey of McKinney; cousins, Haleigh, Blake, Bailey and Abigail Barnes of Dallas; and various great aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A Celebration of Walker's life was held August 14, 2010 at the First Baptist Church in Sherman.
