He was preceded in death by his parents, 4 bothers Jimmy Parker, Ricky Parker, Gary Parker and Steve Parker, 3 sisters Faye Wright, Judy Boerner, and Brenda Appelhans and 2 granddaughters Brittany Parker and Sarah Parker.
Tom worked in construction and concrete most of his life. He also owned many vapor stores in the Denton area at one time. He has been retired for the past 5 years. Tom never gave up and that was reflected in the fight he gave cancer. He beat and exceeded every expectation the doctors gave him. He fought cancer the only way he knew how and that was to do it his way. Something he always did. He loved old cars and watched drag racing and car restoration shows in his last few years. One of his favorite cars he owned was his corvette. Tom never met a stranger and had many friends, he really loved talking and joking around with them. At the time of his homecoming Tom was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his 10th great grandchild.
