Anthony Parks

Miss you everyday dad! RHDF

Anthony, thank you so much for being there for us. I am glad to call you my friend. Your guidance and support brought me to where I am today. I miss you everyday. I miss your advice on relationships, school, family. The hours we would spend trying to get my life on track. I have arrived pal. Finished school and made it through the storm. I sure do wish you were here to see me and my son now. I hope everyday that Alex is doing good. Love you.

i guess tommrow your dad thing will be off here boys...good luck too you in life hope too hear from you guys soon best wish's from sam and my man...call me at 271-4050 love ya like brothers

As time has gone by since Anthony's passing, I still find myself thinking of him and the rest of my cousins and my aunt Jane. I remember so well when Jane and the kids came to visit, she and my mom would go shopping and I would be left to baby sit all 9 younger kids. I remember Anthony best as a child. It has been at least 20 years since I have seen him in person, but I always knew, both from knowing him as a child and from reports from my mom and other relatives, that he was a very good man. Our family has lost a very good, warm and loving man. The good Lord has surely welcomed him with open arms. My family sends their love to my cousins and to Anthony's wife and children. We will think of you often.

"A.P.", Brother, you gave me a chance when most men wouldn't have, and changed the course of my life. You taught me the way of true brotherhood, and shared with me the pride of living it. You exlempified honesty, integrity and class. You helped make some of my dreams come true. Thanks to you, I know how it feels for a man to hug his "brother", and that is something I say to very few. No one will ever take away the memories of the rides, camping and racing we shared. You will live forever in my heart.

anthony was a good man him and my dad are in a better place now looking down at us samantha,litte kevin,ben,danny and has girl we all love are dads love samantha hawkins

I still think of Anthony as my brother even though I haven't seen him for several years. I know if I would see him today he would still give me a big hug and call me Sis. I feel so blessed to have had the chance to be a part of Anthony's life. My heart goes out to all of his family, especially Doc, Rita, Robyn, Becky, Carrie, & Brad. Nope, I didn't forget you Danny, Love Ya Much! Also to Jane who may have never realized what an inspiration she was to me. Anthony, you are forever an angel who will always be loved. (Give Janice a hug from me too)

Anthony was a kind gentle man, a devoted father and son. I will miss his smile that could light up a room. He will live in my memories always and stay a constant reminder to live life to the fullest. Rest in peace.

Anthony, a wonderful man and father with a kind gentle soul who will be missed by many.



Time for you to rest...until we meet again.

To Anthony's Family; I have known Anthony well since high school. He was a great friend and one of the most kind and compassionate people I have ever known. We spent many great summers together in Centerville and Texas, just riding our bikes and enjoying life. Although I had not been in contact with Anthony for many years, I often thought of him and wondered what he was up to. Please find comfort in knowing that whoever he came in contact with, he made a lasting impression of kindness and friendship. Ride on Anthony!!



Miss and Love ya,

Rochelle Latham-Bozarth

Growing up with Anthony in Centerville, you could never forget his sparkling eyes and great smile.Centerville High School Class of 1979 will miss Anthony terribly. We would like to let Doc, Rita, Robyn, Becky, Dan, Carrie, Brad and Anthony's children know you are in our thoughts and prayers here in Iowa.

Anthony, you will be missed so much! I feel very fortunate to have know you. I still have the award for Best 50's-60's Female Costume I won with you at Jim's Uptown on March 12, 1983 Centerville Iowa. I will remember you always.

To the family of Anthony, I have wonderful memories of growing up in Centerville, Iowa. Not only was Anthony a friend of our family, but Danny and Brad were such an important part of our lives. Even though we have not seen each other in many years, I smile when thinking of him and his terrific family.

Cindy Golic-Roenigk

One of a very few!! It was an honor and privlege to know him as a bother-in-law,friend and bro!

LOVE YA MAN

We knew Anthony as Ben's dad. We will miss him. I remember talking with Anthony while our sons took their driving tests . . . As he talked about Ben, Anthony had a smile on his face that was big and bright. I will never forget his smile. Anthony was a very proud father.



May your hearts mend and your memories of Anthony stay forever strong.

We missed Anthony, Stef and kids when they left TX, now we REALLY miss them...and we're too far away to give a hug...as Anthony's honest, hardworking, fun-loving spirit lives on...know we love you. Sandy, Sam, Mika, Jared.

Ben, Im sorry for the loss of your dad. I remember all of our fun times together. I think about you often and wonder how you are doing.

My dad and i would like you to spend the summer with us. Give me a call some time at 972-978-3063 or 972-335-2735.

Hang in there...

We remember Anthony at the time of need when Dennis Valentine passed last July and the way he stood by his mother Jane Valentine during that time. We also feel like we know him by knowing Jane as we have for many years in seeing many understated but very profound inner strengths. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out and up for all of Anthony's family.



Pete and Emily

Our friendship began about four decades ago. What adventures we had (and Danny, as well) in those early years. Periodically, something will remind me of one of them, and it makes me smile. I have often thought what a pain I must have been to your Mom and Dad, being into some mischief with the two of you on a regular basis. Over the years, we each gathered more friends, but you will always have been my first and best friend. You were a good friend to many, and I can tell from these writings that has continued over the years. It has been too long since our paths last crossed. My mother would always tell me when she ran into you, and what a nice looking and polite young man you had become. It doesn't suprise me that you stepped up and took such good care of your mother. You did such good work, that it got noticed, and I guess He needs you more.

*Just between you and me, sorry about that business with the "cast".

Great job living life to the fullest in your own way.

My deepest sympathy to all of your family. Until we meet again.

I think about this every day now for a week,on the way to work every morning,every evening, when i'm by myself,when i'm not. I still can't believe it. He will be deeply missed by all.My deepest simpathy to his entire family. He is one hell of a man GOODBYE

Stefani and family, I am sorry for your loss. Anthony was a good man, father, husband and friend. And motorcycle rider. He was honest and hard working.

My children and I cherish great memories of Anthony and feel blessed to have known him.

Our hearts go out to you...

Anthony was a friend, a second father figure. He listened when I was down, gave advice that helped me find my path. I love him for the great man he was and always will be in my heart. Ben, Alex and Danny...my heart aches for you.

Yours truely

I just wanted to send my condolences out to the family.. I am touched by Anthony because i happend to live close to were the accident happend.. The first thing that came to my mind is that this man has to have family and i felt so much pain and sorrow for all.. I just want to say that "He is definitly with the angels" And I will be praying for you all.....

The world has lost a good man. We were very sad to learn of Anthony's death, but he died doing something he loved--ridin' his motorcycle. We're sending prayers and much love to Anthony's family and extended family, and especially to Stefani and Danny, Ben and Alex.

Thomas Campbell said "To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die". After reading these messages from family and friends, I have no doubt my cousin Anthony will live forever. May God bless you and guide you through your time of grief--especially the Parks family--love you all!

We will miss you so much!We feel very fortunate to have just visited you in California at Randy and Suzanne's Wedding and you going to Napa with us, what an awesome time we all had!

REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER !

UNTIL NEXT TIME, KEEP ROCKIN'

My condolences to Anthony's family for this tragic loss. I never drive by the old Scooter Shed east of Denton that I don't think of Anthony and the old times. I am proud to have known a man of such determination and drive, always going headlong into whatever he undertook. He will be missed by many and forgotten by none.

My deepest condolences to Anthony's

family at this time of loss.

Anthony, I will always remember you as our neighbor in Centerville, a friend in High School, and a co-worker at Hy-Vee. Thank you so much for being a huge part of our wedding, and our lives. We will sincerely miss you; RIDE ON!

Even though Anthony was my cousin, I'm afraid I didn't know him very well. Living half a country apart, I probably haven't seen him in, like, twenty years or so. From what I have heard over the years from my aunts though, I know that he was a good man, a good father and a good, wonderful son. My heart aches for his family and friends. I wish I could have known him better, but even now, I feel his loss. He is truly riding with the angels now. My love to the family.

I have fond memories of my cousin Anthony from when we were kids. He was 2-3 years younger than me but we always enjoyed seeing him and his older sisters Becky & Robin & his little brother Dan. I also love his Mom & actually stayed at her house in San Diego & Jan Jose for a couple of visits. Although I haven't had contact with him for many years, I had heard great things about him and was proud of him for taking care of his mother. Anthony will be missed. My heart goes out to his parents & his brother & sisters.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. Ride Forever Free.

I met Anthony when he was a cute 5 year old blonde headed boy. His family lived 4 houses down. He and Danny played with my brother and I remember building snow forts with them and climbing a tree house. I hadn't seen Anthony in several years but always kept up through Becky. I got to visit with him this past summer when his mom was in the hospital. I am glad for the visit. This is truly a sad sad tragedy. Our hearts share your sadness.

In the few encounters I had with Anthony, I witnessed a devoted son and caregiver. I am deeply saddened with your loss and will continue to pray for you and your family.

Stefani, my heart aches and goes out to you and the kids...Anthony, we will sure miss one of the coolest Daddy's ever, the one with the little girl in the pink helmet riding on the back of his Harley... You will never be forgotten! Until we all meet again... "Forever Ride Free"

Wow, what a shocker! Been along time since we have seen each other, but will always remember you for the true friend you are and will remember the times we had. Rest in peace!

our deepest condolences to your family "we'll miss you bro"

We remember Anthony and his devotion to his mother Jane Valentine; his love for his children; and his strength and good cheer in all things. His honest loyal heart will always be an encouragement and example to us.

The Greatest Man I ever knew, He took the time with me and I appreciate every bit of knowledge in life and motorcycles he ever taught me. Thank you Anthony for changing my life and my way of thinking. SYIH

As a good friend of his mother, I heard many stories about Anthony. The first time I met him was when Jane and Dennis were moving from San Jose to Santa Cruz in September 2004 when we were both part of the moving crew. I truly admire his willingness to help his mother out in many ways and especially his devotion in caring for Jane after Dennis died. May Anthony rest in peace!
