WALKER, Michael Ross March 17, 1941 - Dec. 23, 2007. Beloved son,
father, brother, uncle and friend. We Miss You, Uncle Mike!
The middle name matches what's given on the IMDb (I know, I know) and
the date of birth is only a few days off:

Walker had darker hair and looked less like his father than his better-
known brother, Robert Walker Jr.:

Michael played juvenile delinquents and hippie types in TV shows and a
couple of movies in the 60s. I believe he was also a scenester and
night club owner in NYC, although I can't remember where I read that.
Anyway, can anyone confirm this was in fact him who died in December?
If true, he would be survived by his mother....
I wonder if it would be possible to write to the LA Times to verify?
