Jeff Parker Obituary

Jeff "Magic Man" Parker
Jeff was born on January 9, 1956 in Riverside, California and passed away peacefully and suddenly on April 6, 2012 surrounded by his loving wife and close family. He was a graduate of Fontana High School. On May 8, 2010 he married Jamie Marriott, the true love of his life and the true love of hers. Jeff instantly became a loving member of the Marriott family.
Jeff was known as the Magic Man for his love and passion for magic. He greatly loved entertaining people and was recognized as a great magician from his youth to his passing. He worked as a heavy equipment operator for Skanska & CC Myers. He was a Mason and leaves behind many great friends and loving family members.
The love of his life Jamie, son Jeff, daughters Lanie & Cori, sisters Paula & Lisa, nieces and nephews Amber, Misty, Michael, Olivia & Bronson, and stepchildren Barry Stapp, Erin & David Long and his grandson Bradley, survive Jeff.
A memorial is being held on Friday, April 13th 4:00 p.m. at Emmerson-Bartlett Memorial Chapel of Redlands, 703 Brookside Avenue. In lieu of flowers, Jeff's wish was the request of support of the Shriners for their work for children or the charity of your choice.

Jamie and Family
I guess that in Act 3 of Romeo and Juliet says it all.
When he shall die,take and cut him into Stars.
For he sall make the face of Heaven so fine,all the world will be in Love with night and pay no heed to the GARISH sun .
