Funeral Services for Dad

Donation protected
Its never fair, the great people of this world always die young. My Father, James J Parker passed away on Wednesday Morning, August 12th 2015 from cardiac arrest. He passed peacefully thankfully. He was born on April 27th 1960 in Brooklyn New York. 

The way i would describe my Father is a man that is devoted to his Family. He and his wife Irene Parker had 7 of us kids! 5 beautiful Daughters and 2 Sons. He also has two grand children! He believed no matter what happens in this world, you will always have family to be there for you. He is and always will be the keystone in our family. It will never be the same without him. 

Outside of Family life he is also loved by all. Every person he would meet, people would fall in love with him. He was just the type of guy you adored and connected with so easily. He ran a successfully Sign Business in Long Island New York for many years before called "Mobile Graphics." He was the Sign Man! His shop was located in Merrick and met a lot of great people that are family friends today.

Dad has been sick for 3 years since his passing. The numerous health problems he has gone thru was Parkinson's Disease, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), and Chronic Obstructive Pulmianry Disease (COPD). We as a family banded together and took care of Dad at home so he can always be with the family no matter what. We were the perfect team! We all knew Dad was very sick and time with him is limited. We just didnt expect it as soon as it happened.

We are trying to raise money to pay for his funeral services. His wishes are to be buried next to his father in Brooklyn. He unfortuantely did not have a life insurance policy and would help so much to get what he needs to have a wonderful funeral servivce that a man like my Dad needs right now. Any donation is appreciated and can go a long way. Thank you so much for reading my story in getting to know my Father. I wish you could of met him in real life.
