Jerry Dean Parker

October 18, 1954 - June 25, 2023

Jerry Dean Parker, age 68, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on June 25, 2023, in Muskegon Michigan at Trinity Health Hospital. Jerry was born in Eaton Rapids, Michigan on October 18, 1954, to Norris and Rosetta Parker, both of whom preceded him in death.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Anna Parker, his three daughters, Angela (Andrew) Walden, Mari Giffen, and Penny Potter, his siblings Richard (Virginia) Parker, Linda (Mark) Stanley, and Donna Blackmore, stepdaughter AnnMarie (Matt) Dressel, stepsons Scott Dore and Corey (Christina) Ryan, several grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

In 2003, Jerry found the love of his life, Anna Parker, and they were married on New Year's Eve. Their bond was strong, and together they created a life filled with joy and companionship. Jerry was a dedicated custodian and maintenance man at St. Ann's Church in Cadillac, Michigan, for many years. During his time at the church, he also served as a volunteer firefighter. Later in life, Jerry pursued a career as a truck driver, traveling the United States and exploring the beauty of the world. His journeys took him to various states, including Michigan and Florida where he resided. He embraced the freedom of the open road and cherished the beauty of the places he visited. When he wasn't working or traveling, Jerry found peace in his favorite hobbies. Fishing, hunting, and boating were among his passions. He also enjoyed engaging in friendly card games, playing Bingo, and spending quality time with Anna, his beloved wife whom he adored.

A kind soul, Jerry touched the hearts of those who knew him. His warm smile, gentle nature, and willingness to lend a helping hand will forever be remembered. His absence leaves a void in the lives of all who loved him.

As we bid farewell to Jerry, his spirit will continue to live on in our hearts, reminding us of the love and joy he shared with each of us. A memorial service to celebrate Jerry's life has not been scheduled at this time. Forever loved and deeply missed, Jerry Dean Parker will forever be remembered as a remarkable husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. May he rest in eternal peace.
