Chester Parker Obituary
He was born on August 17, 1984 in Augusta, Georgia. He was the son of Chester Parker and April Tyra Ann New Grimes. Chester was a graduate of Midland Valley High School in Graniteville, South Carolina. He studied at Stratford University and was a laborer and production worker in the manufacturing and at Wayne Lumber Company in Monticello, Kentucky. He was of the Baptist Faith and enjoyed working with his hands especially woodworking. Chester had a genuine passion for building things as a hobby and gardening. His greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends whom he loved dearly. He was a hardworking individual and persevered through physical pain and difficulties to do what he needed to do to continue working. He will be sadly missed by those who knew and loved him.
Chester leaves behind to cherish his memory, his beloved wife; Heather Parker of Albany, Kentucky, father; Chester Parker of Somerset, Kentucky, mother and step-father; April (Bud) Grimes of Trenton, South Carolina, a brother; Chad J.
