Gerald Parker Obituary

Gerald "Gerry" Parker, age 83, of Manchester, passed away on February 8, 2026.

Born in Manchester on July 27, 1942, Gerry was a successful entrepreneur who devoted much of his life to multiple business ventures. A natural storyteller, and conversationalist, he loved connecting with people and could often be found at local social clubs, talking with friends and even strangers about life, ideas, and opportunities. Above all, he was especially proud of his many grandchildren.

Gerry is survived by his companion, Diane; his children, Tim, Jarred, Gary, Debbie, and Jenn; and his grandchildren, Aaron, Jack, Ben, Meredith, Zach, Bri, Hannah, Mitch, Delilah, and Taylor, along with other beloved family members.

A memorial gathering to honor Gerry's life will be held on Friday, February 13, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at Phaneuf Funeral Homes on 243 Hanover Street in Manchester, NH, with a service taking place at 6:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Manchester Food Bank in his honor.

He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by those he loved.

Assisting with arrangements is Phaneuf Funeral Homes, Manchester. To view Gerald's online tribute, send condolences to his family, or for more information, visit https://phaneuf.net
