Obituary of David Parker
David Wayne Parker, 74, of Kentville, Nova Scotia, passed away Monday December 17, 2018 in the Valley Regional Hospital. He was born in Berwick on March 7, 1944, the son of the late Marjorie Parker and adopted father and uncle, the late George Parker.
David’s 33-year military career in the Guards, Royal Canadian Regiment and Postal Corps, took him all over the world (though he disliked flying), retiring as a Warrant Officer in 1996. His generous, humorous, outgoing, caring, and giving nature toward family, friends, and strangers alike made him beloved by all. David combined his love of sport and family into an amateur career coaching soccer and hockey, and playing softball. He enjoyed the game of hockey and his favourite team was the Montreal Canadiens.
David is survived by his son Sean (Christina) Parker of East Preston; his daughter Trina (Mike Nagy) Parker and granddaughters Jaydn and Peyton of Waterloo, Ontario; brother Victor of Toronto, Ontario; partner Ida Hines of Kentville; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
A Private Family Graveside Service will be held on Thursday, December 20, 2018 at 11:00 am in the Aylesford Union Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or your local food bank. Arrangements have been entrusted to Serenity Funeral Home, Berwick Funeral Chapel, 192 Commercial Street, Berwick, NS, B0P 1E0 (902-538-9900).
