Mr. Henry Fred Walker, 84, of Carrollton, Georgia, passed away on Friday, November 8, 2024. He was born on March 27, 1940, in Carrollton to the late Henry Lee Walker and Mabel Janelle Copeland Walker.
Mr. Walker was a respected businessman and community member, known for his strong work ethic and dedication to his family and faith.

He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Tracy and Phillip Wiggins; his sons and daughters-in-law, Clay and Lisa Walker and Clint and Amanda Walker; his beloved grandchildren, Anna Kate and Tyler King, Saralyn Wiggins, Thomas Wiggins, Josey Walker, Elijah Walker, and Lawson Walker. He was preceded in death by his wife, Sarah Frances Bailey Walker; his parents; and his brother, Joe Whit Walker.
