Michael Russel Walker, retired Fire Chief of Devine, Texas, has passed away in his home, surrounded by his loved ones, at the age of 65.
Michael has served his community as a firefighter for over 45 years, and worked on pipelines for almost 50 years. Before coming to Devine, he’d served for 25 years and retired as Fire Chief at Fairchild VFD in Needville, TX. He dutifully served as Fire Chief here in Devine before retiring in March of 2021.
Michael knew his way around the grill. Grilling was his passion, and it showed. He was the head cook of Firewalker Cookers Competition BBQ Cook-Off Team for 5 years. His other passions in life was the love for his family, and selflessly helping people. His time in the service was a living testament to his care and compassion towards his community.
Michael was a hero.
