Kelly passed away at his home after a long battle with heart complications. He was born to "Dick" Walker and Zetta Benson, grew up in Idaho Falls, and graduated from Skyline High School. He also attended Idaho State University. He and Debbie Sims were married and had three daughters before they divorced. Kelly worked for H & K Contractors for 30 years and TMC Construction for 12 years. When it came to paving asphalt and running equipment, he was an expert. He was also a mentor to many and a perfectionist with all his work. He also ran a successful horse training business with his family. Call it horsemanship or horse whisperer or whatever, Kelly had it in his blood. Horses were his love and passion. When his health slowed him down, Kelly became a craftsman, making beautiful picture frames, furniture, and birdhouses out of old barn wood. Survivors beside his parents included: daughters Jaime (Trent) Lloyd of Dingle, ID, Kylee Sims of Idaho Falls, ID, and Shelby Walker of Salt Lake City; sister Shawna Williams of Dubois, ID; nephews Will Johnson, Jesse Williams, and Dusty Tuckness and his "puppy" Barkley. Services held January 26th at Wood Funeral Home East at 963 Sout Ammon Road. Bishop Jim Hansen of Ammon 27th Ward officiated.
