The hardest part of losing a child is trying to live every day after.
Life story

Walker Reid was the sweetest edition to our little growing family. From the very beginning, there was just something about big sister Hazel that could instantly calm and comfort little Walker. Their bond stayed ever so strong till his last day. Many times Walker and big brother Hunter could be found playing farmset together or riding little toys together outside. While the older two were in school, Walker and sister Oaklee built many train tracks and magnet towers together.

Walker had the most beautiful big brown eyes and a smile that just melted anyone's heart.

Walker Loved so purely! Outside of his evident deep love for us family members, he loved to be outdoors helping mom everyday with chores, playing kitties with the siblings, and riding on equipment with us any chance he could get.

His little life was cut short following a tragic accident on our families little farm.
