Born on December 18th, 1959 passed away peacefully on June 30, 2023. Son of Arline Taylor (deceased) step son of Mark Taylor (deceased). Cherished father of Angelica Hammond (deceased), Stephanie Parker and Brittany Parker. Dear husband of 42 years to Barbara Parker. Grandfather of three. Brother to Robert Parker (Shellie), Cathy Kaselak (Edward), Tony Parker, Janet Wojtala (Don), Joseph Parker. Uncle and friend to many. He loved his family, flea markets, garage sales and motorcycles. If he wasn’t doing one of those things he loved to gamble. He was the best Macgyver. If he couldn’t fix it nobody could. Jon spent many years helping people, working hard and fishing on the lake. His infectious smile, sense of humor and ability to make you laugh will be cherished forever.
A celebration of life will be held at the Lantern Center for Recovery (12160 Triskett road, Cleveland, oh 44111). August 5th at 1pm followed by refreshments. In lieu of flowers please make contributions to The Lantern in Jon Parker’s name at https://www.thelantern.info/
Brittany, I am so very sorry for the loss that you and your family are going through. Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers during this most difficult of times. May God embrace all of you in His loving arms and provide you with comfort and peace.
I love Jon. I miss him. He could always put you in a good mood. Just seeing and talking to him made you happy.
My condolences to the Parker family, I grew up with John and his family in the little village of Brentwood, I lived right around the corner on Cherrywood Circle we went to schools together hung out in the woods down by the river behind their house, he will be missed by many. Rest in peace Jon…………
