Parrish Barker Obituary

Parrish Barker played through to the next fairway, unexpectedly, on December 11, 2018 while vacationing on St. Kitts, in the Caribbean. He was having fun and enjoying a day trip to the island. Parrish lived a full, happy life traveling in Europe, the US, Mexico, and the Caribbean with Tonnie. Parrish was an easy-going man with a kind heart. He loved music, travel, golf, friends and his family. Parrish grew up in the Loomis, Rocklin, and the Roseville area. The last six years he lived in Cottonwood, CA. Parrish was a graduate of Del Oro High School, Sierra College, and Chico State University. He was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. Parrish was an accomplished, avid golfer. He was a past club champion at Sunset Whitney Country Club and past club and current senior club champion at Wilcox Oaks Country Club in Red Bluff. His career was spent in sales and insurance. Parrish leaves behind his love, Tonnie Spencer. He is survived by his mom and dad, Bill and Gwen Barker, his sister, Nicole White, brother-in-law, Jeff White, nephew, Brady, and niece Chloe, cousins, aunts, uncles, and many, many BEST friends. We all miss you dearly. Our memories of your kindnesses, how you lived, and the love you brought to us will be in our hearts forever. We will celebrate Parrish's short time with us at 1PM on January 6, 2019 at the Rocklin Event Center on Sunset Blvd. in Rocklin.

Bill and Gwen, Sherrie and I were so sorry to hear of Parrish's passing. He was one of the really good guys. I had many good times playing golf and enjoying the other activities at Sunset Whitney with him. He always enjoyed life and, in particular, golf, which he excelled at. I was always amazed at how he knew how much each person stood immediately as the last putt dropped. I always wanted to be on his team. He will truly be missed. Please accept our condolences.
