Deacon Parker touched the lives of so many people and made a lasting impact on so many lives. He had a deep sense of integrity with values rooted in righteousness.
I was blessed with the opportunity to work with him at Bethlehem and witnessed him holding on to his unshakeable principals. Deacon Parker was our oldest member and I tried to continuously give him his flowers, love and respect. I will always remember and cherish our time working together as well as the long conversations.
My condolences to the family and I know that his spirit will continue to shine through those that knew him.
R.I.E.P my friend
