Paul Thomas Parker went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Aug. 6, 2016. Paul was wise, warm, and tough. He remained young at heart through the years and had an inviting soul that created lasting friendships in everyone he met. He could almost always be found working outside in the yard, fishing, playing poker with friends, playing slots at the casinos, or spending time with his grandchildren. His spirit will live on through his family forever and has left an everlasting presence in all those he leaves behind.

Paul was preceded in death by his sister, Della Diane Parker; brother, Wayne Parker; and father, Whit Parker.
Paul is survived by his wife, Barbara Parker; children, Chastity Bouwkamp( Michael) and Whit Parker; grandchildren, Caristyn McCurley, Codie Bouwkamp, and Cayden Bouwkamp; siblings, Kenneth Parker ( Delores) and Carolyn Peterson (David); and mother, Pauline Parker.
