To our friends and family:

We are saddened to share the passing of Walter Nantz Parker on October 14, 2023. He was in a motorcycle accident on October 2nd and was in the hospital for two weeks before his death.

Nantz’s life is celebrated through the community surrounding him, his wife, daughter, and family. He was charismatic, loving, kind and generous. Those that knew him felt his warmth, support and big hugs. His energy and love for life was contagious to anyone that was around him. His smile and laughter lit up any room and brought immediate joy.

Nantz deeply valued supporting and caring for his family. With this unexpected loss, we are asking for donations to cover medical expenses to help alleviate some of the financial burden to allow the family to properly grieve and process.

With the sudden loss of Nantz, close family and friends will celebrate him with a celebration of life within the next year. Family and friends can share memories of Nantz via his online memorial (https://app.bluebutterfly.com/memorial/v2/nantz-parker).
