John Leonard Parks

John Leonard Parks will be missed by many. He was known as J.L., a devoted husband of 68 years to Barbara, Dad, Granddad, guard for 2-time Oklahoma State NCAA Championship teams, Houston Oilers fan, breakfast lover, a Shriner, a Jester, WWII Veteran, life of the party and overall Mr. Personality. He passed away March 13, 2018 from complications due to pneumonia. April 3 would have been his 91st birthday, but he was very young in his heart and mind. Our love and sincere heartfelt appreciation go out to friends, neighbors and caretakers that have held us up these last months. Services on Thursday will be for family, but we invite you to join us for a celebration of life at Westbury Methodist Church on April 7 at 1:00. Please check www.americanheritagefuneralhome.com for a link to a great article about Dad and Mom from the OSU basketball department. You can also leave words of encouragement, stories or funny moments about our sweet and dearly missed dad. In lieu of flowers, donations in his honor may be made to the Shriners Hospital.

“Once met, never forgotten.”
