Mr. was preceded in death by his son, Howard Walden Jr. and his first wife, Jerri Ann Walden.
Howard was a man of great Faith in His Lord. Though a great
and accomplished business man, Above all else in this world, Howard loved his
family. He loved people, and finally he loved his work. He spent his
professional life in the insurance business where he excelled, because of his
love of people. He was a kind and generous man, one of the Greatest Generation
and he exemplified the traits that made his generation great. He was a man of
“uncommon” common courtesy, always courteous and polite, constantly thanking anyone
for even the smallest things they did for him.
Howard had
a beautiful voice and loved to share it with those around him and to offer
praise to His Lord. Many will recall his singing of “The Lord’s Prayer”,
especially his Brother Mason’s, of which he was a member for over fifty years.
He loved attending church and his church family.
He had many
friends, but one special friend, Rex Jones, who helped him in his final years
by visiting as often as possible. Rex would come by and he and Howard would
laugh and cut up and “swap stories” about “the good ole days” and enjoy each
other’s company.
Above all,
Howard loved His Lord!
My sympathies and love to the family of Mr.Walden. This family is loved by me as part of my own and my heart breaks for you all.

DeleteTo the Family I would like to express my deepest sympathy to each of you. May the words of Christ Jesus be of comfort to you. He states at John 5:28, 29 that all those in the memorial tombs (graves) will hear his voice and come out. Our Heavenly Father Jehovah God also assures us at Revelation 21:3-5 that he is going to wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death will be no more. Again, I extend my condolences to you. May the God of all Comfort, comfort each of you.
