Rusty is survived by his cousin, Judge Layne Walker and his wife, Cynthia Walker, and their children: Courtney Duhon and her husband Dylan; Layne Walker Jr. and his wife, Cassandra; Kyle Walker and his wife, Shelby; and his cousins, Ted L. Walker, Rhonda Collier and Danny Walker; and uncle, Ted G. Walker and his wife, Mary Lou Walker; along with numerous other family that loved Rusty.

Rusty never met a stranger. Remembered for his “big heart”, there was not a more loving and caring person than Rusty Ryall. With a sincere love for the Lord, Rusty was strong in his faith and a true Christian. He spread happiness and joy to everyone he ever met. Rusty enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family and of course, the occasional “double meat, double cheeseburger with a classic coke.” Rusty showed, and more importantly taught, compassion to those in his life. Rusty will be remembered as the “gentle giant” and a man who had a true heart for people. He will forever be missed.
