On May 7th, 2025, Parker Joshua-David tragically passed away at 8 months old. Parker had lived in Mt. Pleasant during his brief time on earth. Dealing with the loss of a child has been overwhelming for his parents, his big sister and big brothers. They are now tasked with planning his funeral. Parker's parents are in need of help with funeral expenses and living expenses. They have missed work to take time to grieve their loss. Parker was the sweetest baby and was always smiling and happy. He had no fear of strangers and was content with anyone holding or playing with him. He particularly loved his big sister Emberleigh, who could make him smile and giggle just by talking to him. Parker is survived by his mother Makenzie, step-dad Coltin, father Aaric, big sister Emberleigh, big brothers Xander and Josiah. Funeral services are planned for May 25th at Clark's Funeral Home in Mt. Pleasant. All funds raised will be used to pay the final expenses for Parker and to help his parents with their day-to-day expenses while they are off work.

I am Makenzie's cousin Lisa. Our family is large, and she is more like a niece to me. She has asked me to help her set up and manage the GoFundMe for her. I am honored to help in any way that I can. Any amount helps. Sharing on social media helps. Most of all, kind words of encouragement for the grieving family.
