February 28, 1930 â December 15, 2020
David âLeonâ Walkup, known to his great grandchildren as âWalka-Walkaâ, was a devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend. It is with sadness that we share of his passing on December 15, 2020.
David was born to Benjamin and Martha Walkup on February 28, 1930, in Bristow, Oklahoma. David was one of ten children. He was known to be a sweet and silly boy who grew up fast and learned the value of hard honest work.Â
David was a proud father to eight children, Charmaine, Lorna, Becky, Davene, David, Dianna, Cheryl and Elaine. He also welcomed Pennyâs children and grandchildren as his own.Â
