Gary R. Walton

October 5, 1941 - September 8, 2019

Gary Russell Walton, 77, of Benicia, California, passed away in the comfort of his home on Sunday, September 8, 2019, after a long and courageous battle against cancer. Gary was born in San Francisco, California in 1941. He lived in the peninsula for over 45 years and moved to Benicia in 2014 where he enjoyed the ease and peaceful living of the small town with new-found friends. Gary was a successful graphic designer, owner of Adamson & Walton and, later, for GW Graphics until his retirement. However, Gary’s greatest passion resided around auto racing and building specialty cars. He raced many tracks, surrounded by amazing friends and family, that included Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, and his personal favorite Sears Point. Gary is part of a close, blended family and will be missed and lovingly remembered by his son, Rich (Jennifer) Walton; step-children, Rob (Sandy) Nelson, Marcy (David) Birnie, Ron Koeper; three loving grandsons, many close friends, and his long-time partner, Jackie Etherington and her four children. Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Lorraine and Russell Walton. Burial services will be private however the family will be hosting a Celebration of Life in Gary’s honor, with details to follow. A special thank you to the kind faces at Sutter Hospice, in Solano County, for their loving care and support during his final weeks.
