Walter was born on October 2, 1938 in Roy, OR. He was one of 14 children
born to George and Cecilia (VanDyke) Duyck. He was raised on the family farm
in Roy and attended grade school at St. Francis Catholic Grade School. Walter
later attended Banks High School and graduated with the Class of 1956.
He was enlisted into the US Army and served his country in Germany during the
Cold War.
Walter was united in marriage to Carolyn Herb on September 2, 1961 in
Verboort, OR. Following their marriage they made their home in Beaverton for a
short while, and then moved to their farm in Cornelius, OR in 1966. Together
they raised five children and eight grandchildren. Their Catholic faith was an
important part of their lives.
Walter briefly worked at Tektronix, but a few years later left to pursue what he
really wanted to do- farming. He spent some time working for his brother, Lloyd,
on his farm and then started his own. He raised blueberries, black raspberries,
wheat, and also operated a blueberry nursery with his partner, Larry Dupre. In
1974 he bought a ditcher, and he and Larry started a farm tiling business
called, Oregon Pipe and Supply Co. They tiled for 10 years. Walt really
enjoyed farming, and although he retired in 2000, he never stopped working on
the family farm.
Among Walter’s other interests, he enjoyed his parish family at St. Alexander's,
camping, grandchildren's activities, visiting casinos with his siblings, and the
outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and especially enjoyed fishing in Oregon
and Alaska with his brother, Rollie, and his friends, Dennis Pratt, Jeff Beaudoin,
Phil Muir. He also enjoyed clamming at the Oregon coast, wood working ( to
support Carolyn's tole painting hobby) and traveling. He traveled abroad and
throughout the US. Walt loved his family and Tiger, his fat cat. He also loved to
pester his many nieces and nephews, especially out in the blueberry fields!
In 2000, Walt was diagnosed with colon cancer. After treatment, he resumed an
active life. More recently he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He again bravely battled the disease, but ultimately passed away at his home on
Saturday morning with loved ones present.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn, his parents, and three brothers,
Rollie, LeRoy and Kenny Duyck.
Survivors include his five children and their spouses; Cheryl and Shawn
Morgan of Hillsboro, OR, Scott and Susan Duyck of Beaverton, OR, Lisa and
Chris Davis of Portland, OR, Craig and Genelle Duyck of Forest Grove, OR, Tim
and Christine Duyck of Forest Grove, OR, ten siblings; Lloyd, Gary and Steve
Duyck, Audrey Hertel, Lorna, Newby, Loraine Klein, Dorothy Umeda, Susie
Peterson, Sharon Racine and Marilyn Grover and eight grandchildren.

On Friday, April 7th @ 9:00 am we lost a beautiful soul. Judith Kay Walker was so many things, to so many. She passed peacefully in her home, surrounded by loved ones. Judy was a Mother, Wife, Grandma, Great Grandma, Aunt, business owner / boss, friend, and so well loved in our little community.

Her service will be held on Wednesday, April 19th at 11:00 am @ Saint Aloysius Catholic Church. Please join us to help us celebrate Judy’s incredible life and help send her off to be reunited with her family and loved ones.

*Reception to follow. Private family graveside service held April 19, 2023 at Visitation Catholic Cemetery in Verboort, Oregon.

When I spent time with Grandma Judy, she could tell stories about her adventures for hours. She always had a suitcase packed and was ready for her next adventure. Her lake property at Triangle Lake holds memories for so many and it was truly her happy place.

Judy loved being a Mother and Grandmother, her family truly meant everything to her. She lost her parents and siblings over the years and I felt as I knew them because of the stories she told.

She will be remembered for her deep love for unicorns, her spunky personality, her stories, and her beautiful smile that could light up any room. She is already so incredibly missed and we will cherish every moment spent with her.
