Kenneth Parker Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Kenneth was born on November 3, 1966, in Delaware, Ohio. He was a veteran of the United States Marine Corp, where he served his country for four years. Ken was a machinist and known for his hard work, kindness, and generosity. He loved everyone he met, and he would give you the shirt off his back without ever asking for anything in return.
In his younger years, he trained horses and worked at horseshows. Later in life, Ken enjoyed working on old trucks and cars, watching the news, and following NASCAR. Dale Earnhardt, Sr. was his favorite driver.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Lessie Hicks Parker, daughter, Christa Payne and sister, Elizabeth Lucille Cruickshank.
He is survived by his sons: Travis Parker and Joseph Parker; his daughter: Shelby Pope (Cody); grandchildren: Taelynn Bradley, BJ Moore, Gracalyn Stewart and Easton Pope; mother: Jenny Jackson; brothers: Bill Parker and Tim Parker; several nieces and nephews.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
