   Walker Reid Maassen, son of Christopher and Amy (Bakker) Maassen, was born September 4, 2021, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Walker loved living with his family on their farm near Sioux Center, Iowa. He was always eager to help with chores or hop into the skid loader whenever the opportunity presented itself. He loved the farm animals he got to be around. Walker was full of energy and was on the go from morning till night. People often commented that he should have been named “Runner” as he rarely walked anywhere.

 

   Walker was deeply loved by his family, especially by his older siblings. His big brown eyes and smile would light up any room he entered.

 

   Walker is survived by his parents, Chris and Amy; 3 siblings, Hazel, Hunter, and Oaklee Maassen; paternal grandparents, Curtis and Fonda Maassen of Fairview, South Dakota; maternal grandparents, John P. and Sandra Bakker of Rock Valley, Iowa; great-grandparents, Frank Wynia of Rock Rapids, Iowa and Sylvia Fluit of Rock Valley; 4 aunts, Heidi (Michael) Blom, Katie (Zachery) Baanhofman, Andrea (Jairus) Koenen, and Bethany (Andrew) Ymker; 7 uncles, Tyler (Elisabeth) Maassen, John Maassen, Cody Maassen, Arlen (Tori) Bakker, Darren (Jessica) Bakker, Paul (Britni) Bakker, and Troy Bakker; and many cousins.
