Life’s Reflections
Born on September 3, 1985, Mr. Keon Michael Walton, Sr. was the cherished son of Ronald Walton and Mary Crawford Donald. Early in his life, Keon embraced his faith, accepting Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, a guiding principle that influenced his path.
Keon attended Raleigh Egypt High School in Memphis, where he built lasting friendships and created memorable experiences. His dedication to the community was evident through his involvement with the Masons at Craft Lodge #47, where he nurtured strong bonds and upheld the values of brotherhood and service.
A passionate motorcycle enthusiast, Keon enjoyed riding immensely and took pride in repairing cars and bikes. As a dedicated member of the Wyldboyz Motorcycle Club, he relished the freedom of the open road and the camaraderie of fellow riders.
In his career, Keon excelled as a manager at O’Reilly Auto Parts, where his hard work and leadership earned him respect from colleagues and customers alike. His professional dedication was matched only by his profound love for his family.
On Sunday, September 8, 2024, Keon was called to eternal rest with the Heavenly Father, leaving a rich legacy of love and strength. He was preceded in death by his twin brother, Kenyon Walton, and his beloved mother, Mary Crawford
Keon’s legacy will live on through his treasured children: Baila Walton, Keon Walton, Jr., Kimora Walton, Karter Walton, and Kenyaniah Walton. He is also survived by his devoted sisters, Chiara Mason (Kelsey) and Nikkia Donald; his brother Gary Walton; his special friends Eboni Pugh and Erica Cheairs; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. Together, they will honor the love and values he instilled in them.
As we come together to celebrate Keon’s life, let us remember the happiness, laughter, and love he brought into our lives. Though he may no longer be physically present, his spirit will forever resonate in our hearts and memories. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Please don’t let sadness overshadow the joy we experienced. Celebrate our time together and hold each other close. Support one another as you navigate this journey of grief, just as we did through life’s ups and downs.
Remember, love is eternal, and though I am no longer physically present, my love will always surround you. Live fully, embrace each day, and know that I am cheering you on from above.
With all my love, Keon

In Loving Memory
In the quiet moments, we remember you, The laughter we shared, the love so true. Your gentle spirit, a guiding light, In our hearts forever, you shine so bright.
The stories you told, the wisdom you shared, In every little thing, we know you cared. Though you’ve left us, your love remains, In the whispers of the wind, in the soft summer rains.
We gather together, as family and friends, Holding your memory as our love transcends. Through tears and through smiles, we celebrate, The beautiful life that you did create.
So we’ll cherish the moments, both big and small, Your spirit surrounds us, we feel it in all.
Rest now in peace, our dear one, so kind, In our hearts, forever, you’re intertwined.
