Parker Bo Dollinger

With hearts broken yet filled with gratitude for the joy he brought, we announce that our beloved son, brother, grandson, great-grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend, Parker Bo Dollinger, returned to the loving arms of his Heavenly Father on August 11, 2025, at the age of 11.

Parker was born on June 1, 2014, in Beaumont, Texas. Over his short but beautiful life, he lived in several places—Beaumont, TX (2014–2020), Big Spring, TX (2020–2021), Humble, TX (2021–2023), Plano, TX (2023–2025), and most recently Layton, Utah (June 2025-August 2025). Everywhere Parker went, he left behind joy, laughter, and the memory of his warm smile.

Parker’s heart was as big as his grin. He loved playing with his brother and sister, being outdoors—especially playing catch—and cheering for his favorite baseball team, the Houston Astros. He found delight in coloring, blowing bubbles, swimming, playing card games, traveling, and watching Disney movies (with Toy Story being his all-time favorite). Parker had a gift for making others laugh, whether through telling jokes, playful tickles, or his silly sense of humor.

He loved going to church and school, where he could spend time with friends and peers. Parker was excited to start the 6th grade this fall and looked forward to new adventures ahead. His love for life was contagious, and his kind spirit touched all who knew him.

Parker is deeply loved and will be forever missed by his parents, Ryan and Amber Dollinger; his siblings, John Dollinger and Cora Dollinger; grandparents Brent and Loriann Chase and Karen Ogden; great-grandparents Monte “Bo” Dollinger Sr., Raymond and Sharon Chase, and Patricia Miller; uncles Dennis Chase and Cade Ard; aunts Emma Nielson and Carli Nichols; and many other great-uncles, great-aunts, and cousins who adored him.

He was welcomed into heaven with open arms by his great-grandfathers Larry Miller and Donald Ogden, great-grandmothers Judi Dollinger and Judy Turner. His great-aunt Kelli Ogden, and great-uncle Kevin Miller.

The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the many home health and hospice nurses who cared for Parker throughout his life. Your kindness, patience, and love brought comfort not only to Parker, but to all of us. Your presence in our lives was a blessing beyond words.

Services to honor Parker’s life will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2505 N Church Street, Layton, Utah. A visitation will be held prior to the service from 9:00 to 10:45 a.m. Interment will follow at Lindquist’s Memorial Park at Layton, 1867 N Fairfield Road, Layton, Utah.

Though Parker’s time on earth was short, his life was full of love, laughter, and light. We know his joyful spirit will continue to inspire and guide us until we are reunited again.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain." – Revelation 21:4
