James A. Parker

Jimmy
There is not a time when we get together that we dont think of another wonderful yes and funny Jimmy Parker moment!
There is not a time when I know you aren't watching over Brady and Lindsey helping them with many difficult choices!
There is not a time when you dont listen to me from above and help Tj do a little bit better in every race he race! (being his in car angel)
You have given Pete some peace in his heart that he now has you for an angel by his side!...

Jimmy
Happy Birthday!
We know you here with us! Because on this of what could be somewhat difficult, you come to us as a full moon watching gently over us! We miss you every day!
Love Sharon, Pete, Brady and Lindsey

Jimmy,
We still can't believe our long time treasured friend is gone. Forgive me as it's taken a while to accept it and write in.
We have so many wonderful snapshots of you in our minds from many wonderful years of friendship...calling Rob's work pretending you were a doctor from the Center from Disease Control, making the strongest coffee we've ever tasted, helping Doug be a "worthy ranger", being chased through the campground in Niagra falls, hanging out with the homeless...

When I was about 5 years old I had the privalage of meeting Jimmy. As a young kid I was shocked by his crazyness and the amount of energy he always had. But as the years followed we became much closer and he was like a second dad to me, he would come on vacations with us, always be there to make me smile, and somehow always have different but extremly fun ways of doing something. My most memorable time with Jimmy besides all of the wonderful vacations is when I was in school and my waterbra...

Jim was the love of my life and I have him to credit to my belief in Christ. He is the one who introduced me to Calvary Chapel where I learned that through faith, I am a child of God. As he himself grew in the faith and knowledge of our Savior, I know without a doubt he is walking streets of gold, and probably conducting the choir! I will miss his smile, his walk, his one of a kind sense of humor, and most of all his love, forever. But as the Pastor said at Jimmy's memorial service, if we...

I had the privilege of knowing Jimmy as both a classmate and as my brother Pete's best friend. Jimmy was truly one of a kind. He was an adventurous free spirit who lived life to the fullest. He had a wonderful (and wacky) sense of humor that could always put a smile on someone's face. Here's one example: As a favor to my brother, he took me to my Junior Prom (way back in 1974). To my extreme embarrassment and in typical Jimmy fashion, he escorted me to the prom in a PINK tuxedo and MAROON...

Jimmy,
Your humor and smile were contagious. From the first time we met you, we felt that we had known you all our lives. We shall never forget the New Years that we spent with you at Bucks Lake. You truly loved your family and friends and embraced life each day. We are blessed to have known you and will keep you in our hearts forever. Love Tim, Linda and T.J.

My best memories of Jimmy are in Maine. We used to go to Maine every year for Columbus day and Jimmy was always apart of our special weekend. He always made us kids laugh, and have a good time. We would "borrow" pumpkins, and carve them, and put them back as scarecrows, go applepicking, and who can forget the infamous tarzan yell at 2:00 in the morning! Jimmy always seemed to enjoy life, and always had a joke or a smile to pass on. We will never forget you....Ranger Jimmy

Ranger Jimmy,
You were a gift from God in our lives! The Man would find beauty in every rock! We all got them as gifts. You were a admired best friend to Pete, a adventurous summer vacation husband to me, and an idol to Brady and Lindsey! We were and are still very lucky to have you to make us smile and laugh, and guide us though our lives until we meet. We all will live a life of spectacular memories from you! Thank you! We love you! Pete, Sharon, Brady & Lindsey
