Joseph Parker Hinton

We will miss that ray of sunshine, which is how I remember Parker.
Love,
Randy

One of the greatest friends I ever had. Truly selfless and kind. There is a hole in my heart every day I wake up and cant talk or be with you. Your memory lives on in my heart forever❤

I had the privilege to live very closely to Joseph, I was his Rotary guide on the "Grande Viagem", when we had the opportunity to visit Amazon, Brasilia and the northeastern beaches.

He seems too be very mature for an exchange student, even though he was over 18, he seemed to be more.

I don't want sad reminders. But credit him the joyful moments we had together on that trips. I have many pics and I could send to parents, just keep in touch

I had the pleasure of spending time with Parker and the family in 2012 in Boise, and have such lovely memories of him. I remember how much he loved the bookshop and he even recommended a book for me to buy. I still have it to this day and kept the receipt as a memento.
He was such an interesting young man and I can't believe how much he achieved in his short life. The family should be so proud.
We met Parker again when he came to England a couple of years back and enjoyed...

May our precious Parker rest in peace and may my Kimmy, John and Emily find peace as well. What a privilege for me to have had this kind, wonderful, brilliant, beautiful soul as my nephew. I am in awe of the remarkable strength and love you (Kim, John and Emily) are providing to one another throughout this tragic and difficult time. You are an amazing and inspiring family - my love and prayers are with you every day and Parker will be forever in my heart.

Much Love,
(Auntie)Terri

I cannot imagine what you all are going through. Please know that our family has you in our thoughts and prayers. I was planning to come to his service, but have decided it is best to stay home. But I am there in spirit and wanted you to know that.

We have not been in touch aside from chance encounters since Emily and Parker were in preschool together, but those connections stay strong through the years. Our Emily was stunned by the news and so very sad.

This is a crazy time...

John, Kim and Emily. I am so sorry for your loss. Parker was a great kid and love by us all. Keep his memories close to you heart so he will always be with you...

Kim, John and Emily - your precious Parker! I'm so so sorry. What a fine young man who accomplished more good in his short time than most people do in their whole lives. I will forever remember him in his Cub Scout uniform with a darling smile, a twinkle in his eyes and and a skip in his step! This memory makes me smile. I've been praying for you all since I heard this awful news. I can't imagine your pain. May he rest in eternal peace and may memories of all the good times soothe your...

I was heartbroken to hear of Parker's passing and I am so very sorry for your loss. Parker was such a kind, considerate young man with so much enthusiasm and passion for life. He was always thinking of others and finding ways to be of service. I hope you will find some peace in thinking of all the good he did and love he spread in his few years of life.
