PARKER, Donald (Donnie) - April 10, 1954 - March 1, 2014 The late Don Parker was a loving husband to Jackie; father to David (Shelley) and Dean; brother to Gord (Mary) and John; and friend to all who knew him. He was the guy next door that would be there the minute anyone needed anything. He did everything with great passion and flare; everyone knew Donny Parker. His love of family and friends was matched through his passion for his years as a firefighter, fixing cars and his love of the outdoors. Don Parker will be greatly missed by those that knew him for his quick wit, his friendly smile and his contagious laughter. Please celebrate his life with family and friends at Pine Hills Cemetery located at 625 Birchmount Rd., Scarborough, Ontario. Visitation will be held Wednesday, March 5th 1-3 and 6-9 p.m. The Funeral will be held at Pine Hills Cemetery on Thursday, March 6th at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army or to Camp Buck.

Dear Jackie, David and Dean,
We are all so sad at the loss of a great man. Donnie was the epitome of "the guy next door" always offering to plow the driveway, have you over for a beer or break out the bbq. We will always remember his boisterous laugh and the way he talked. Never a dull moment around him.
Love and support from all the Martins @539 Oakwood

Theres no words to say to help make this pain go away. I'm sending all my love and positive vibes to you Jackie, your boys, all your family and friends. I remember Donnie as my smiley, friendly, very helpful neighbour. Always willing to help shovel the end of the driveway for my family, cracking jokes whenever me n my boyfriend saw him outside, always having a smile on his face. My thoughts and best wishes are with the family.
Much Much love linds xx

Dear Jackie, Dean, and David, I am in utter disbelief. Your Dad was a larger than life personality; he loved his family and friends dearly and was always there to help. He was a great firefighter and an equally great friend. My deepest condolences. Neil Hurd

Dear Jackie, Dean, David
We would like to express our condolences to you. Don was kind to us during our time as neighbours on Oakwood Drive. Whether it was getting our car fixed, plowing the snow from our driveway, or arranging to get our driveway extended by the City. We remember Don always puttering around your yard doing something, and we could always hear him from across the street. He was a generous, friendly man which was demonstrated by the huge amount of friends he always had around him.

There are no words. Just love and hugs from a friend who shares the unspeakable grief of a loved one taken too soon. Donnie was a great guy. I bet he and Nathan have already shared a couple drinks together. They both love to laugh and have fun - Heaven is a much livelier place now!
