Arnold Roy Walking Bull "Junior Bull" was born on November 10, 1975 to Victoria Ann Grey Owl and Arnold R. Walking Bull Sr. in Chamberlain South Dakota. Junior made his journey on November 9, 2021 at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls, SD.

Junior spent his early years in Lander, WY with his mother Victoria and four siblings Noren Walking Bull, Chastity Walking Bull, Robert and Jeremy Charging Hawk. He would often make his way back to Fort Thompson to see his dad and other siblings Mary Rose, Austin, Arnelle, Farlan, and of course his grandma's Ruth and Cecelia who he enjoyed listening to with their stories.

Junior had four children, a son Andelee, three daughters Destiny, Mia, and Julianne.  He was close to two of his step kids DeJoe and Joylynn and two of his granddaughters Heavenlee and T'Yanna.

He enjoyed being at home with Julianne.  They would always chill, do her homework, listen to Pow-Wow music, and watch their favorite TV shows together like "Young Sheldon" and "Chicago PD". Junior was always up to see Julianne off to school then he would be at the door at 4:00 p.m. with a smile and hug when she would get off the bus.

Junior married Lisa Grass Rope, on November 30, 2012, a year after the birth of Julianne so this was a special day for him.

Junior is survived by his wife Lisa, daughters Julianne, Mia, and Destiny, his brothers Farlan, Noren, Robert and Jeremy; and two sisters Mary Rose, and Chastity.  He is also survived by his aunt Rosie Drapeau and two uncles Wesley and Travis Fire Cloud.

He was preceded in death by his parents Victoria and Arnold, a brother Dustin, sister Nellie, his son Andelee, his paternal grandparents Mary Walking Bull and Oscar His Law, maternal grandparents Annie Thompson and Robert Grey Owl Sr., an aunt Iva (Grey Owl) Obago, and two uncles Bernard "Beep" and Robert "Pudgy" Grey Owl Jr., and aunt Faith Ann Sazue.
