I am so sorry for Dave's family for his loss. He had been a great mentor of mine and I was extremely lucky to have known him from Mustang and then run into him years later at American Express. He was always a positive influence and someone that gave me great insight on my professional career. He will be missed.

My sincerest condolences to the Parker Family. Dave was always making us laugh and sharing stories. He loved his family more than anything. May he Rest In Peace.

I want to offer condolences to you and your family for your loss. Death is a very a sad time, especially when we lose someone we love. It is so encouraging to know that God promises the Earth will be restored and we will be reunited with our deceased loved ones again. May the peace from our heavenly father comfort you at this time. 

Dave, was always one of my favourite suppliers. We do alot of work with Abus and Dave was our maint Point of contact. He was always full of energy and willing to help in everway! I miss him already. From your friend Rick C. in Trinidad and Tobago.

At our ABUS office, David was full of energy and always on the go, no challenge was too big. I will miss all his spunk, happiness and the Hershey's Nuggets he would sometimes leave on our desks.  But without a doubt, David was most passionate about his family, you could see the love in his eyes and hear it in his words when he talked about his wife and daughter.  Please know that I'll be praying for you and your family.

Dear Nita and Delaney,
Uncle Ed and I are deeply sorry for your loss.  As a young boy David was always the one who greeted us, as our two families visited back and forth, with a big smile and warm welcome. He was always in a good mood and full of fun! He was such a cute young boy and grew to be such a handsome young man.  
Delaney, you would have been so proud of your dad when he was on the Track and Cross Country Teams at Bishop McGuinnes.  Your Grandma Parker always kept us abreast on how well he did.  He was an amazing runner!
She, also, used to tell me how she could always count on him to help her clean. He seemed to be in charge of the family room, even polishing the floor. Since Grandma worked, his help was always very much appreciated.
I know when you were born, he was thrilled.  He was a very proud daddy!  I loved the Christmas pictures your mom and dad sent at Christmas time.  We were able to see you grow up from a distance.
Our hearts and prayers are with you both.
God Bless you!
Love,
Aunt Eileen and Uncle Ed

A powerful soul gone too soon. I had the pleasure of working with Dave at ABUS for the past 3+ years. His energy, commitment, passion and perseverance were all traits he was admired for. He excelled in his position as Inside Sales Lead and helped drive initiatives that hadn't ever been attempted by the company before. One thing was certain, even at work, that Dave was a family man. It was clear his wife and daughter meant more to him than anything on this planet - they were his drive and his reason for being. We will miss his spirit, determination, positive attitude and friendship. Rest in peace, Dave.

Nita, my thoughts and prayers are with you, Laney, and all of your family and friends. I will miss seeing his warm smile and hearing his friendly greetings whenever I see him around school. Please know that we are here if y'all ever need anything!

David, I am going to miss you! You were an energetic, passionate and inspirational man. 
You and I weren't  able to spend much time together due to logistics. However, over the last several years, you were able to brighten my life with your quick wit and political jabs. I enjoyed sharing my thoughts and feelings towards issues affecting our families and our nation. We had shared many calls, texts and memes which we shared interest . 
You have been taken from our families way too soon. We will remember your enthusiasm for life and prosperity. Your never ending efforts to be the loving and caring brother, son, husband and daddy to all that mattered to you will not be forgotten.
I love you brother! Fly high!

David, 
Sorry you left us so soon, Rest in Peace.

David, you left us way too young.  I have fun memories of you, friend.  Prayers to your family and friends.

My deepest condolences for the Parker family. I went to High School with David and we ran together on the track and cross country teams. Our senior year we won Bishop McGuinness' first ever state title in any sport. David was our best runner and he finished 2nd at State individually. We lost track of each other over the years, but I when I think of him, I always remember his smile and sharp humor. He was always chasing fun and was very optimistic. I'm troubled to hear about his passing and that he was taken from us too soon.  
Chris Putnam, BMHS 1985

I ran cross country with David in high school. David didn't run until senior year and I have never seen someone who was such a natural runner as he was. David's form was so smooth that he looked effortless when he ran. We won the State Championship that year; the first in any sport at Bishop McGuinness. To this day our championship remains one of my proudest accomplishments. We would not have won if not for him. Thank you David. 
Rest in Peace David. You're running with the angels now.
