Randall Clay Parker, 73, passed away Thursday, September 19, 2024 at his residence.
Mr. Parker was born in Chattanooga, TN to the late Claude Arlington Parker, Sr. and Mary Kathryne Evans Parker. He was also preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Mattie Evans Walker and Pat Evans; his paternal grandparents, Mae McAllister Parker and John Parker and two aunts, Pauline Beardon (Claude) and Lila McCormick (Kathryne)

He loved traveling abroad, classic cars, his boxer dogs, and being on his Harley. He formed a deep and special bond with his step-son, Dustin. Randy was a good man and anyone who knew him loved him and he loved his family dearly.
