Andrew Walker’s mother, Joyce Walker, dealt with Alzheimer’s for over a decade before her death. In 2021, Andrew spoke with TV Fanatic about his mother’s condition. “Fortunately, it’s been ten years, but only really started to get bad during the pandemic,” Andrew said about the length of her diagnosis. He also revealed that her condition prepared him for playing Kris in “My Christmas Family Tree,” a character who’d lost his parents. He added, “And so there’s a piece of Kris that I was able to draw from in losing his parents because I feel like I am processing the inevitable loss of my mom and the way she’s not at all who she was, who I’ve remembered her being throughout my life. So it’s therapy.”
In March of 2023, Andrew Walker celebrated International Women’s Day with a bittersweet Instagram post featuring his mother. “The most dynamic, talented, strong willed, loving and protective woman,” wrote Walker alongside her photo. “I’m so lucky to call you my mother.” He continued, “As you leave us in this material world, I’ll be able to feel your presence wherever I go which gives me so much comfort. I love you eternally mom.” Unfortunately, Andrew’s mother had passed away by the time her May 10th birthday rolled around that year. “Happy birthday mom. Miss you. Get a double scoop and party like you just don’t care!” posted Andrew alongside an Instagram photo of Joyce posing with an ice cream cone.
