Douglas Lee Walton

Douglas L. Walton, age 92, went to sleep in Christ January 8, 2025. He was the son of John McKinley Walton and Myrtle M. Brown Walton.

A native of Randolph County, Doug retired from the Randolph County School System, was a part-time instructor with Randolph Community College in the Adult Education Department, a veteran of the United States Air Force, served as pianist for the Friendly Four Quartet for a good number of years and up until five years ago, assisted Chaplain Dwight Ayers with the Sunday School Ministry at Alpine Health and Rehab and also assisted him with the Golden Age Hour radio program.

There isn’t any way of knowing how many children he taught to play the piano. Most of the local churches have benefited somewhat by his love of God and his music abilities.

In all these ministries his desire was to exalt the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and to be a blessing to others.

Doug was preceded in death by his mom and dad, brothers: John Ed, Emmett and Gene Albert Walton, sisters: Betty Jean Walton, Clara Leona Faulkner, and Joyce W. Lineberry.

A Private Service will be held.
