Earlier today, Gordon’s brother, Jack Walker, Jr., posted his grief on Facebook. “I love you so much big brother I hope you heard me talking to you at your bedside you are with me and I can feel it I love you,” said Walker, Jr. “I never in a million years thought I’d be writing this for my ACE I was there through every step we all love you no matter what and we’ll all stay strong for you.”

He continued: “New Years didn’t have to start like this and you just told me you HAD to see me for New Years but I’m blessed I got to talk to you last night you will forever be my best friend nobody will ever take your place.”
Walker, Jr. would later confirm to People in a statement: “We are devastated by the loss of my beautiful brother. He leaves a void in the hearts of my family and his friends. Nick’s battle in life was not an easy one. I will be forever grateful that my God afforded a small moment at the very end of Nick’s life, and I was able to hold his hand as he journeyed on.”
