Obituary of Jessie Junior Parker

Jessie J Parker married his, now late wife, Frankie on October 20, 1951. Jessie has 5 children; 3 girls and 2 boys: Valerie Keller, Rick Parker, Randy Parker, Shelly Roden and Shannon Tarquinio. 67 grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren and many others who adopted him along the way. He was loved so much by all of them. Some people might not count their step grandchildren, by Jessie always did. He was an amazing father, in fact, the kind of father every child dreams of. All men should follow his example of how to be a father, husband, friend and man. He was handicapped but we never noticed it, because it never slowed him down. His words to us were not to treat people with handicaps special because the only thing that makes them more special than any other person is that they are stronger than the average person. Jessie was 85 years young, as you can see by these pics he had a great sense of humor. He loved his wife, children, church, fishing, gardening, mexican food, country music and western movies. he never knew a stranger and children adored him. He is missed so bad . He has left behind a great example for all to follow. I don't understand how this earth can continue to turn without him. Anyone who was touched by this man in any way was blessed.
