Paul Parker

After moving to America in 1977, and graduating from Pacific Grove High School in California, he began his journey of lifelong entrepreneurship. At the age of 18, he opened his first bakery in Cannery Row, Monterey, which he successfully sold a few years later. Paul then pursued his love of aviation and became a certified flight instructor working out of Carmel, CA. On a trip to Kenya in 1986, Paul met the love of his life Anne-Marie. Three years later they married and had their first son James in Surrey, England. In 1993, they moved permanently to Rancho Bernardo in San Diego, CA where they have lived ever since. In 1996 their second son Andrew was born. Over the years Paul has owned and operated a number of local businesses, and found much joy in photography, surfing, friends, and most importantly spending time with his family.

Paul was a loving son, an incredible father to his children and a devoted, wonderful husband. He was the life of the party, made everyone smile with his quick witted sense of humor, and defined what it means to be good. He had a heart full of love and made a lasting impression on anyone who met him. He will be missed dearly.

Paul is survived by his wife Anne-Marie; his two sons James and Andrew; his mother and stepfather Alexandra and David Collett; and his sister Lisa Parker.

Services will be held graveside at 10:00am on Wednesday December 10th, 2014 at El Camino Memorial Park, 5600 Carroll Canyon Rd, San Diego, CA 92121.
