Rev.
Sim Walton was born on July 15, 1915 in Grand Cain, LA.
Sim was the youngest of six children born to Sim Sr. and
Lucy Walton.
When quite a young man, he professed Christ as his
personal Savior. Christianity and the work of the Lord,
not becoming prevalent in his life, he confessed his
call to the Ministry and was subsequently license and
ordained at the St. Paul Baptist Church under the
leadership of Pastor Johnny Johnson in 1946.
The years 1953 - 1960 Rev. Walton pastored the Mt. Zion
Baptist Church of Sacramento, CA.
In 1960, under the leadership of the Holy spirit, Pastor
Walton organized Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church
of Sacramento, CA. where he pastored for 27 years.
 On February 10, 1937, Rev. Walton was united in marriage
to Mable Walton.
To
this union five children were born. This union continued
until her death on
March 18, 1970. On
March, 1976, Rev. Walton was united in marriage to Mary
L. Walton of
Sacramento, CA.
Pastor Walton was a lovable and humble character, but he
has gone to his reward. On October 13, 1987 at 10:20
a.m., on the streets of downtown Sacramento, Pastor
Walton was called home by the Master, who said "Well
done, thy good and faithful servant." God's will must be
done, and Pastor Walton has left a living example of
loving service, worthy of emulation, which tribute
should bear some comfort to his loving family and
friends.
He
leaves to mourn his passing a loving wife, Mary L.
Walton, two sons,
 Welford B. and Sim Walton, III, three
daughters, Dyiane Thompson, Ruthie Jean Walton of
Sacramento, and Eliza Jean Nelson of Oakland, CA, 28
grand-children, 18 great-grand children, ,3 God-children
and a host of relatives and friends
"For we know that if our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an
house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens." II
Corinthians 5:1
Words can't express how much I thank God for the
privilege of sitting and studying under such a man as
the late Rev. Sim Walton. He was instrumental in the
saving of thousands of souls and
has touched countless thousands of lives. He was a 6' 8"
powerful, Spirit filled preacher with a gentle touch.
The Mt. Calvary family is thankful to the Lord for using
Rev. Walton to organize this Church. We loved him but we
know that he is rejoicing in the presence of Jesus.
"Pop, I miss you and will never forget all that you have
done for me."
Sincerely,
Rev. Bryant C. Wyatt, Pastor
and your Grandson
