Sercy Walkinshaw, Jr.

Sercy Michael Walkinshaw, 89 died Saturday, March 18, 2017 with family members by his side. Michael was born in Houston and lived in Houston, Katy and Spicewood, Texas before moving to Rockport. Michael and his wife relocated to Rockport to assist their youngest daughter in opening Comforts of Home on Austin Street 18 years ago. He did deliveries and accounting for the store well into his 70's. He was a strong man in body and soul.

Michael was a graduate of University of Houston and an avid Cougar fan. He was the CFO of UTEX Industries and gave the company 40 years of service before retirement.

Michael and his wife of over 63 years Sylvia, raised their daughters teaching them by example. He was a father that was always at home for his girls as well as for their friends that may not have had a positive male role model. He was a cowboy at heart, an environmentally minded gardener/rancher that cared for all Gods creatures big and small.

Michael is survived by his three daughters and their husbands, Judy and Hal Barclay, Gail and Bill Frank and Melody Walkinshaw and his sister and brother-in-law Mona Joy and James Bilsky. He is proceeded in death by his wife Sylvia, his parents and many beloved family dogs & horses.

No public services will be held and the family respectfully requests that no flowers be sent. It would be Michael's wish that expressions of sympathy be made by a donation to the animal welfare organization of your choice. The family would like to thank all of his friends for their support, friendship and love over the years.
