Mr. Gordon Parker

February 13, 1936 - June 17, 2014

It is with very sad and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Mr. Gordon Parker of High River, Alberta, at his home on June 17, 2014 at the age of 78 years. Gordon is survived by his loving wife Doreen of 57 years, his son Gordon (Donna) and his daughter Cindy Evans; 5 grandchildren Lisa (Brian), Dan (Rhodora), Christopher, Heather (Craig) and Ryan; 7 great-grandchildren Abigail, Elyana, Madyson, Hayley, JayJay, Logan and Jordana. Perpetually "39 years old", Gordon was always ready with a smile and a helping hand whenever he was needed. His passion was creating beautiful pieces of his intarsia for his family and some close friends. We were all so honoured to receive one of his newly finished pieces and couldn't wait to see what the next piece would be. His greatest achievement was his love for his family.....he was a Man that you could depend on in good times and hard times, always ready with a hug and a smile. He is now our Angel watching over us in death as he has watched over us in life. "Those we love don't go away They walk beside us everyday Unseen, unheard, but always near Still loved, still missed and very dear". In lieu of flowers, a donation to The Alzheimer's Society or The Lung Association would be greatly appreciated by our family. A Celebration of Gordon’s Life was held on Sunday, July 6, 2014 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Polo Park Clubhouse (203 Freeman Way NW, High River, Alberta T1V 1V5).
