Aaron Lee "Dogg" Walker, Sr., 43, of Windsor and Franklin Arthur "Kane" Spencer, Jr., 42, of East Hartford and both formerly of Hartford, passed away on Saturday, February 22, 2020.
After Aaron's mother died at a young age, Aaron and Franklin were raised together as brothers and an inseparable bond was created that would last the rest of their lives until their untimely deaths.
Aaron was born in Hartford on June 18, 1976, son of Lawrence Walsh and the late Darlene Walker. He attended Hartford Public Schools and was a graduate of C.A. Barbour Elementary School, Quirk Middle School, and Hartford Public High School, Class of 1994. After high school, Aaron continued his education at Manchester Community College where he received an Associates Degree in Culinary Arts. While growing up in Hartford, Aaron also attended the Classical Magnet School where he developed his passion for music and the arts. He loved Hip Hop music, playing basketball with his friends, and spending time with his family. Aaron was always particular about his appearance and loved making sure his sneakers and his clothes were always perfect. After college, he worked as a claim examiner for 10 years at The Aetna Insurance Company before following his passion for cooking. Aaron moved to Atlanta, GA and took a position at Nordstrom in the store's restaurant. After moving back to Connecticut five years ago, he continued his work at Nordstrom as a chef at their store in the Westfarms Mall. Aaron's family will remember his dependability, his desire to help others, and his role as "The Peacemaker" in the family. He always wanted everyone to get along and supported his family and friends through everything in life.
