Mr. Cecil Eugene Walker

( September 8, 1961 - March 8, 2022 )

Cecil Eugene Walker of Bridgeport, CT was born September 8, 1961 to the late Edmond Walker and Pinkie Walker.

Cecil graduated from Bassick High School in 1978 in Bridgeport, CT. He obtained his Cosmetology license in 1983. Cecil was a respected barber and hairdresser, and a God fearing man. He was also a great cook! He would always want to feed you and make you feel at home. Whenever you were around him, he was always laughing and joking. Cecil thought he could dance- doing the butterfly in his penny loafers on so his feet could slight right. Those were his words.

Cecil loved everyone; whomever came in contact with him could see and feel that he was a loving and caring person. We love and- miss him so much.

Cecil was predeceased by his brother Theadric Jones; and daughter-in-law, Alexis Wilson-Davis.

Cecil is survived by his two brothers, Edmond Walker III of Danville, VA, Edren Walker of Bridgeport, CT; one sister, Eunice Walker of Danville, VA; nine children, Raheem Roberts of Shelby, NC, Iesha Roberts of Shelby, NC, Joey Roberts of Winston Salem, NC, La’ Toya Manson (Troy) of Bridgeport, CT, Willie J.
