Ordained deacon march 5, 1989. Dad rededicated his life to the lord jesus before closing his eyes. The song he spoke to me was “ive got a feeling, everything’s gonna be alright” after him making his peace with the lord.

He worked for the city of charleston in the refuse department and later after retiring moved to the position of radio dispatcher. Lastly, he served in the position of a school crossing guard for the board of education.

I Did Not Know Mr. Parker But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort At Times Like This Is The One Found At Revelation 21:4 That Says, “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore. The Former Things Have Passed Away.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Anymore. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time.

Please Accept My Heartfelt Sympathies. My Heart Goes Out To The Family. Death Is Something We Will Never Get Use To. In Fact, God’S Word Refers To Death As An Enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) It Is Comforting To Know That Very Soon Our Loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, Will Remove Death Once And For All And Give Us The Opportunity To See Our Loved Ones Again Here On The Earth.
