Parker had a passion for playing and watching sports. He played many sports including baseball, football, and basketball. He was currently playing basketball for the Andover Athletic Association. He played the game of his life on February 15th where he had seven 3’s in his first game and started the next game with three more. He enjoyed golfing and was going to try out for the SFHS golf team this spring. He spent a lot of time on the course with family and friends.
Like any faithful Packer fan he fulfilled his dream by watching the Packers at Lambeau Field on December 15, 2019. To make it sweeter for him they beat the Bears.

He looked forward to every 4th of July at Uncle Steve and Aunt Shelly’s cabin with the Hemmelgarns. He missed his Wisconsin family and would go whenever the opportunity arose. He was able to go hunting in Thief River Falls with his Papa where he shot his first dear, an 8-point buck. The past 3 years he had several vacations with his families including Florida, Tennessee, and took a cruise out of California to Mexico just last month.
