The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want. On Tuesday, August 16, 2016, the Lord called our dear brother and uncle Christopher Tyrone Parker to his heavenly home. Chris was born on April 15, 1962 to the late Sarah T. and Eddie M. Parker Sr. He was the youngest of 11 children and attended Westside Elementary School and Smithfield High School. He worked at ITT Gwaltney of Smithfield, Clover Leaf Refrigeration and RFS refrigeration at one point in his life. He was a very giving and compassionate person who loved to draw cartoon characters and models. Everyone knew that Chris didn't have any biological children, but was always taking care of other children as though they were his own. He would make a point to call everyone and anyone who wished to talk to him on a daily basis. Christopher was preceded in death by his wife Carolyn Parker, two sisters; Christine Massenburg and Carrie Wiggins, One Brother; Vincent Parker, One Brother-in-law; Arthur Wiggins, several aunts and uncles.

Parker (Valerie), Dwight A. Parker (Gail), Lawrence A. Parker (Marlene), one Aunt; Neola Edwards, several nieces. nephews, cousins, and a special friend Senetta Taylor.
