Tammy, Abbey, Jamie, Coaches, Staff and Players:

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our Coach and dear friend. We are overwhelmed with emotion when we think of all the great things Randy accomplished in his life. He was an amazing coach, mentor, husband, father and friend. Randy truly made a "difference in Northwestern Football" and we are honored to be able to continue his legacy of developing world class student athletes at one of the country's top institutions.

On behalf of all of the members of the Northwestern Gridiron Network, our condolences go out to the entire Walker family and his coaches, staff and players. His legacy on and off the football field will never be forgotten. He will be truly missed.
