Amarieone D. Walker

Amarieone Daveontae Walker was born on November 22, 2004, in Kansas City, Missouri, to his mother, Amanda Ray’Chelle Walker, and was lovingly received in the supportive care of Dorothy Smith.

In his early years, Amarieone was affectionately known to his family as “Fat Daddy,” and later lovingly nicknamed “Gibby” by his older sister, Amina.

A proud graduate of Center High School, Class of 2023, Amarieone ambitiously pursued his passion for barbering, earning his professional license from Transform Barber and Cosmetology School. More recently, he obtained his CDL at 160 Driving Academy and used his skills as a valued employee at REW Materials.

Amarieone had a heart as big as his smile. He made everyone feel loved and deeply adored, especially his mother and big sister, whom he affectionately called “his girls.” His greatest motivation was to make his mother proud, honoring the love and sacrifice she poured into him—something he often expressed with gratitude.

With a personality larger than life, Amarieone brought joy, laughter, and warmth to every space he entered. He enjoyed celebrating life with his family and close friends, lifting weights, scrolling through funny memes and being an uncle to his nephew, Myon.

He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted mother, Amanda R. Walker-Jackson and Step mother, Marquita Jackson-Walker; his beloved siblings, Amina Walker, Marteona Gonzales, NaRiko Gonzales, Laurel Gonzales, Rico Gonzales Jr., Martino Gonzales, Carleno Gonzales, Marteono Gonzales and Robert Clark; his grandparents, Debra & Dwayne White Sr. and aunts, Ange-Lica and A-Keyla, his uncles, Dwayne Jr., DaVon and Donte, a host of nieces and nephews, cousins and close friends who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Niko M. Gonzales Sr. and his nephew, Niko M. Gonzales Jr. Though his time on earth was far too short, Amarieone’s love, spirit, and unforgettable presence will continue to live in the hearts of all who knew him.
