Our Parker has left this realm far too soon, at just 20 years young. Leaving behind Parents, brother and numerous relatives, neighbors/extended family, a great group of friends in Oregon, and as well in Central Cascades of Washington. He is missed by many. We are so very grateful for the love and kindness pouring in from near and far. All that knew him, mention his sometimes quirky smile and expressive eyes. From little boy to young man, he was always busy and learning new skills, and developing more interests. Parker was a great outdoorsman. He loved to slide, glide, ride, drive, and mingle. He was poetry in motion on a snowboard! He loved music, concerts, hiking, exploring, camping, summer river rafting, golfing, and his Audi cars. He enjoyed helping others in many projects. Parker was not a competitive person, he strived to do his best at whatever task he had taken on. He was diligent, hardworking, and put in many hours off the clock to keep things rolling. He became a very integral part of US Mat Systems. He ran the water jet that cuts plate steel in precise shape and size for each order, kept tallies on inventory, his welds were beautiful, and He and his father very recently created another precise jig creating consistency. Always on the spot for helping in many capacities. Parker was also a great hand for the home front as well. He had learned BBQ from his Dad and would, many times, have dinner ready for his Dad upon his arrival from long hours of work and improvements. Parker's spirit for life will remain in our hearts forever … young … very caring soul, gave of himself so freely, and always wished he could do more for so many he came in contact with.
Services will be held on Sunday, May 24th, at 1:00pm, at the Chapel of Macy & Son.
