In Memory of Malia Parks: Community Support

Bayhill High School is saddened by the passing of Malia Parks, Bayhill class of 2024. Malia was a sweet, bright soul who always had a smile for her classmates. If she saw a friend in need, she was quick to offer support and love. Intelligent, generous, and creative, Malia loved animals, rock climbing, and spending time with friends. She was a talented artist and a caring human to her dog Rosie.

Sadly, Malia battled depression for many years and tragically took her own life. Malia was especially close to her mother, Lia Parks, and will be missed by her friends and family. We ask our community to help us raise money for medical and funeral expenses.

If you or a loved one is suffering from emotional distress, please know that you are loved and help is available by calling 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
