Joshua Parker Obituary
Joshua James Parker joined his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in heaven on July 5, 2016.
Joshua was born to Scott and Laurie Parker on November 14, 1988, in Akron, Ohio.
Joshua leaves his two beloved children, Jeremiah and Alayna whose mother, Amber Cook, preceded Joshua in death. Joshua also leaves his mother, Laurie Chervenic and her husband, Nick; his father, Scott Parker and his wife Angela; his brother, Jacob Parker and nephew, Jayden, along with brothers and sisters, Samantha and Justin Parker, Cody Cresong, Matthew, Daniel, Lauren and Joe Greco; grandparents, Leo and Geneva Chervenic and Jim and Norma Parker; along with many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives and friends too numerous to mention, all of whom will mourn his passing and will miss his warm smile and loving hugs.
Joshua loved spending time with his children and was a wonderful father and uncle. His last thoughts were of his children Jeremiah and Alayna and his abounding love and concern for them. He was filled with Godly love for everyone he met and professed his faith in Christ to all.
There will be a celebration of Joshua's life on Saturday, July 9, 2016, at the Parker Farm, 4060 Copley Road, Copley, Ohio, with visitation 10 to 11 and services beginning at 11 a.m. and officiated by Pastor Bob Sepkovich.
In lieu of flowers, Joshua would appreciate any contributions be made to a trust fund for his children to any First Merit Bank in the name of Jeremiah and Alayna Parker.

My sister and I grew up babysitting sweet Josh and Jacob. This is heartbreaking news to us. Little Josh as we remember him, always smiling, always running, always happy and surrounded by SO MUCH love! We enjoyed spending time with those two kiddos, always so much fun. Josh was always so care-free, always on the move. Praying for you Scott and Laurie, his sweet children and all who loved him. We are so, so sorry.
