David Parker Obituary

Dave was my first lead @Boeing. What an awesome guy. I have lot of memories working with Dave. He always wore a hat coming and leaving work. Later in my career I'd see him leaving and always ask him where I could get a hat like his. A tan Everett Aquasox cap with Speedway Chevrolet Monroe on the side. He said I had to buy a new truck. Obviously someone in the family gave him this hat, because we all know Dave would not buy a "new" truck. After alot of hassling, Dave mentioned one day he would give me his hat when he retired. Well...one day in showed up at my desk in an in-plant mailer. I ran upstairs and asked where Dave was - retired yesterday - kept secret. I still have the hat.... the impression Dave left on me will last forever. God bless and leave the crutons off the salad for Dave's sake.

Karen, Viola & Family, there are places in your heart that will forever treasure the love & memories of Dave. Thinking of you at this sad time & wishing you oomfort in the days to come.

May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow. All of our love.

I couldn't believe it when I heard about Dave's passing. It seems like I have known him and his family forever. I have very fond memories of Parker and Karen. Parker always let us roll down his hill- in snow or sun. Then we'd sit around the table and listen to stories. Most memorable was the fishing trip when I was so sick all I could do was lay down. He and his family have been there for every important event in our lives as well as his own family. My heart goes out to his family who will miss him so very much

David,May you rest in peace. As a child I remeber going to Uncle jd's and you,doug and dale bining there,although the age gap was a few years you and your brothers alway took the time to make us feel welcome and to keep us intertained, thank you so much,for the memmories.

Karen, we are so sorry for your loss. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way for this very difficult time.

Karen and family, Les and Doris: We were greatly saddened to learn of Dave's passing. We knew Dave as a gentle man that cared a great deal for Karen and all of his family. We remember most and was speachless to see Dave do the "Funky Chicken Dance" in Yuma. May your spirits be uplifted having shared in his life and memories.

Dave was a wonderful man that loved his family. As soon as you met him you could see the love between him and Karen. The day I started dating their son Jeff, they welcomed me with open arms and as one of the family. His granddaughters, Ashleigh, Erin, Alea and Emma loved him so much. They loved spending as much time as possible with him, and looked forward to the summers so that they could spend more time with him and grandma. We will miss him but we will never forget what a wonderful father and grandpa he was. Always in out hearts!

Karen, Viola and Family. We are sorry for your loss, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Magic happens when two hearts become connected. Karen, you and Dave were awesome soulmates and your happy memories can never be erased. Time will soften the edges and ease your burdens. We love you. Uncle Rod and Donna

As a child I remember spending lots of time at the Parker’s House, Dave always welcoming to all. When I would come over Dave would be hard at work on one of his projects. When he would take a break he would share the newest joke he had with you always seeming to join in with your giggles with his contagious laugh.
Super devoted man to family and friends he unknowingly taught me some valuable life lessons. Getting to visit with Dave and Karen after retirement was always a treat to hear the stories of their newest adventures.
Dave will be a much missed man by many and I am thankful that I have some great memories of him. My love and condolences to all family and friends in this very hard time.

Dave was a great guy to work with, I am very sorry for your loss.

I worked with Dave the last few years he was at Boeing and took over the Section 11 package that he had worked for many years, We shared many stories and had as much fun as you can have at the big B. My condolences.

Thank you Parker for the absolutely wonderful (and eventful!) times we had with you and Karen in Gifford and the fun times we had whenever we all got together. You were such a family oriented man that would do anything for those you loved; you will be missed by so many people.
To all of Parker's family, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this painful time.

Karen and Family
Our deepest sympathy is with you and your family at what must be a very difficult time. Parker was a loving husband, caring father, adoring Grandpa, and a warm host. We have had so much fun over the years at the family reunions; sharing food, family and fun with Parker quietly manning the reins. We hold you close to our hearts and in our prayers.

May you feel God's presence during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family daily! We loved David, he was a great person! He will be soley missed.

Although it has been decades since I have seen anyone from the Parker family, I was saddened to hear of your loss of Dave. I will remember him as a fun young man in his twenties.

Our sincerest condolances to Dave's family.We were saddened to hear of Dave's passing.We hope all of you can take comfort in the richness of his life.

I remember falling in love with Uncle Dave as a young girl, as soon as Aunt Karen introduced him to us. I have fun memories, like my brother Guy's famous quote, "Good charcoal, Parker" at five years old after eating his yummy bbq. Or pictures of him in his speedo on his backhoe. It was obvious that family was very important to Uncle Dave and remained his top priority always. We were all blessed to see how much he loved our Aunt Karen and all of his children; their marriage will always be an inspiration and hope to me. Dave was a loving and tender man; he had radar that picked up anyone who was hurting and in need of encouragement. He shed tears for the pain of others, he shed them a few times for and with me, and those times are still an encouragement to my heart. He brought so much to our family: unconditional love, generosity, creativity and fun. He brought joy to my precious Aunt and and cousins and for that I will be eternally grateful. I'm not sure I have ever met anyone as selfless and giving as Uncle Dave. We will all miss him so. I am so sorry for your loss, Aunt Karen, Kellie, Mike, Jeff, Viola and David and all of his precious family. My love to you all

Grandpa you were the most amazing guy ever! I can't beleive you're gone :'( I miss you soo much grandpa i love you soo much!! I always had an awesome time with you at Gifford and i will really miss being able to hug you and see you smile. I love you grandpa!!

I will always remember Uncle Dave as being soft spoken and gentle with a huge heart. I loved the way you could tell how much he loved Aunt Karen just by being in the same room as them. My heart is hurting for her and the rest of their family, I love you guys.

Karen, our prayers are for you and your family in this time of great loss . Parker will be sorely missed. We had a lot of fun times welcoming in the New Year together. I've known Parker since Little League and he always had a smile, a firm hand shake, and a steadfastness about him. The world is a lesser place without you Parker!

Our deepest thoughts are with you and your family at this time of loss. I know my boys Ryan and Anthony Westcott (Dave's grandsons) will miss their Grandpa Dave tremendously. Especially the times they spent with him and Grandma Karen at Gifford. I remember Parker as being a quiet and gentle man. He will greatly missed.
