It is a great lost to future children in music and to every one that knew him. Mr. Parkhill was a great man and a great teacher. He was devoted to his students and profession. Mr. Parkhill was my Band Instructor at the Six Grade Campus and was for 3 years and was as well for my two younger brothers. He has been a part of our family for a while. He inspired music, practice and laughter in our lives. It was a shock and huge hit for me when I heard of his death. I will always remember the man who introduced me to music, reading notes, practicing my instrument, making jokes, and having fun in band. Thank you Mr. Parkhill!

I only knew you as a member of the "Zone", but am saddened by the news. You treated folks with respect, even the ones that didn't deserve it, and in doing so showed your true colors. Hopefully you will get to watch the rest of the games in the best seat in the house...right next to the owner of course!

It will be a loss to lose CBz from our website. Wow, I had no idea and feel very bad for his family. May God bless you during this time. In the bible John 11:24, 25, It states, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live. ’

I exchanged a post or two with Cbz40 on the Cowboys-Zone website over the years and he was always upbeat and good to everyone. I have never met the man but I'm sure it would have been a pleasure. From what I do know, I believe he was a classy guy with a big heart. God bless the Parkhill family.

I only know Mr. Parkhill as CBZ40 from a Cowboys forum but what I know of him is that he was truly a gentleman in every sense of the word. A kind, warm, humorous man with a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. Wherever he is buried I know he will be thinking, "You young-uns stay outta my yard".

I wish to extend my condolences to the family. I only knew Weldon anonymously through a Cowboys fan website. He enriched my life, and for that I am grateful.
At the end of the day, I think the best we can do in life is to be able to say we were happy and that we made the world a better place for others. I believe for Weldon the former was true; I know that Weldon made the latter true. He will be missed.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

I knew Mr. Parkhill as Cbz40 from our Dallas Cowboys internet message board. He was a fine and fair man. He had a truly gentle nature about him. He cared for our community and always made our game day threads so enjoyable. You will not find a bigger fan of the team anywhere. It was my honor knowing Mr. Parkhill all these years at the Zone.
My heart goes out to the family during this sadness.
Pops is in a better place and is no longer suffering. For that I am thankful.
Thank you for your kindness and steady hand as a moderator of our boards Mr. Parkhill. You will be truly missd sir.

Deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Mr. Parkhill's family from mine. A few days before school ends (SY 08-09), Mr. Parkhill visited Harwell and I had the privilege to talk to him. When asked how he was doing, he said laughingly "still here,...holding on.... you see, I'm a stubborn man...." What a courageous man! I salute you , sir. You may be long gone, but your thoughts and memories will always be etched in the hearts of your family, friends, and every single person whose life you touched in your own special way. We will always keep you in our prayers.

After all these years I still remember sitting in the Auditorium in Donna and hearing Mr. Parkhill's Jr. High Band playing the theme song from Hawaii Five-O. Everyone was cheering and screaming. He knew what kids liked and he knew how to make them work hard and learn for life. Gone too soon. Condolences to his family--John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3,4.

God has taken a great music Teacher from his beloved Family and Harwell Middle School. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke he would throw words combing them into a joking phase. He had a serious look in his eyes, but behind this look he was hiding a happy, good, lucky Man.
For many years he held a Perfect Attendance Record and I will always remember him with his favorite Blue Jean Jacket and now I come to think, Maybe, he was a born Cowboy,in his earlier years.

My condolences to the family. Mr. Parkhill was indeed a GREAT teacher and he touched the lives of so many students throughout the years. I was privileged to have him as my band director in 1978-80 in Weslaco High. What I remember most and admire about him is he taught his students to love music, work as a team and to become leaders in the band and within the school. He allowed us to activily participate in the leadership of the band. He always had a smile for his students.
I know Mr. Parkhill is in heaven and resting in the glory of God!
My prayers are with Esmer, Rhonda and the entire Parkhill family.
