Bio
George Walkup, 90, of Childress, Texas passed away July 22, 2025 in Wichita Falls, Texas. A visitation is scheduled for Thursday July 24, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Johnson Funeral Home. Graveside services are scheduled for Friday, July 25, 2025 at 10:00 AM at Childress Cemetery with Mr. Lou Ellerbrook officiating under the direction of Johnson Funeral Home. George and his wife Joan loved to travel, they loved going to the Hill Country and Creede Colorado. George taught wood carving while traveling at conventions—and was an extremely talented wood carver and leather worker. George would carve birds and if you didn't know better you would think the birds he carved were real and not carved by hand. He was an award winning carver! After his lengthy time in wood carving he took on the talent of repairing boots for the community of Childress. He repaired boots up until four years ago. George will be deeply missed for all who knew and loved him. Those left to cherish his memory are: Daughters: Debbie Stolle and Donna Dockery Step Sons: Terry Chapman and Gary Chapman Grand Children: Paul Stolle, John Stolle, Sarah Stolle, Jessica Dockery, and Judd Dockery Step Grand Children: Christy Kinder, Christopher Chapman, and Marshall Chapman Along with six great grand children and numerous nieces and nephews.
