Edgar Jerry Walker was born on July 8, 1970 to Jerry Walker and Sharon Klinghammer in Pittsburgh, PA.  In 1991, Ed crossed paths with Charity Berg, and their journey together culminated in a beautiful union in 1994. The couple made West Point their home in 2006.  Ed dedicated his life to the artistry of bricklaying and masonry, leaving an enduring legacy across the landscape. His craftsmanship adorned prominent landmarks, from the Nielsen Community Center to the West Point Public School and Lucky 77 Casino in Walthill. Ed took immense pride in his work, and his skilled hands have left an imprint on the area.

Ed’s commitment to family extended beyond blood ties; he treated every child as if they were his own, drawing from his own foster care experiences as a child. Ed was not only a master of his trade but also a passionate advocate for physical fitness. His dedication to a healthy lifestyle was not confined to himself; he generously extended his guidance to others, Ed’s zest for life was evident in his love for the 4th of July festivities and a diverse array of musical genres. He found joy in celebrating the freedom and unity that these moments brought.
