You are cordially invited to celebrate the fabulous life and accomplishments of Rayden Toby Walker: actor, writer, comedian, director, and makeup artist. A memorial birthday celebration of life will be held at 6-8 on Wednesday, June 19,2024 at Ingram Funeral Home.
Rayden Walker made his first public debut on June 19, 1991, in Hope, Indiana and immediately took center stage in the hearts of his parents, Jewel and Don Walker. Even as a child, Rayden was a showstopper. He moved to Quinlan on June 19, 2006, and attended Ford High School, where he was active in theater and drama. Rayden adored acting in school plays because it was on stage that he truly lived. At 17, he attended KD Studio and Conservatory College of Film and Dramatic Arts in Dallas. Following acting school, he found an agent and began pursuing his dream of being an actor. Since then, Rayden successfully completed 11 films and 2 music videos. He was cast in the Netflix movie 'The Diamond Texter' and earned a walk on the red carpet for the movie "Send it" in Dallas. Rayden was a brilliant and hard-working actor and comedian. Raden loved making others laugh with his silly jokes, innocent pranks or belting out random showtunes. He also had an incredible talent for the art of glamor and special effects makeup. He would come early to filming locations and spend hours doing cast members makeup. Rayden was a kid at heart. He loved Disney movies, and his favorite was Beetle Juice. He also loved collecting Toy Story memorabilia.
After 32 years, Rayden's bold spirit could not be contained any longer; and he was surrounded by his biggest fans when he made his final curtain call on Monday, May 20, 2024.
His legacy will be celebrated by his parents, Jewel and Don Walker of Quinlan; sisters, Skyanne walker and Amy Hagman; nephew, Landyn Carter; niece, Cadence Carter; brother-in-law, Justin Carter; aunt, Ruth Morton; grandmother, Dorothy Mentzer and nephew, Braden Edmundson; his service dog, Clover.Rayden loved his family and friends. He adored his nurse, Kortney and his best friends Chelsea, Cassidy, S.J., Tatum, and Maisey Worden. He was not complete without them, and they loved him unconditionally.
