Robert Parker II Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 25, 2025.
It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of Robert C. Parker II, who departed this life on his 72nd birthday, July 22, 2025.

Robert was preceded in death by Roselyn Parker. He was the eldest of six siblings - Cathy, Tony, Jon (deceased), Jan, and Joseph. Father to Vicki (Dave), Mandy (Mark), Lindsey (Nate), Bobby (Amanda), Danny (Jackie), and Olivia. Grandfather to 11 and great-grandfather to 2, each of whom brought him immense pride and joy.

Robert was a passionate fan of Cleveland sports teams and The Ohio State Buckeyes. Known to many as Coach Parker, Robert dedicated countless hours leading and inspiring young athletes. His impact extended far beyond the field - he was a friend and mentor to many. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A celebration of Robert's life will be held in the near future. Details will be shared with family and friends as they become available.

I am so sorry for the Parker family's loss! He was a big part of my life growing up as I grew up with Olivia! He was like a father figure to me and he will definitely be missed! My love and prayers are with them at this time!

Sending love and light to Robert, his family and friends. I knew Robert and his family back in the 60s when we lived in Warrensville Heights. That was the happiest time of my childhood. Robert was in my class in elementary school and I was friends with his sister Cathy. Years later his sister Janet was in my brother“s wedding. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
