Timothy Samuel Parker

Known to many as an “old soul,” Ty lived with a depth of compassion that reached far beyond his years. He held a profound respect for his elders and a heart that was always open to those in need. This was never more evident than in the tender, selfless care he provided for his Grandmother, Linda, during her illness—a testament to the loyal and loving grandson he was.

Ty found his greatest peace in nature. Whether he was tending to his gardens, watching things grow, or finding a quiet spot to cast a fishing line, he was most at home in the outdoors. His playlists reflected his timeless nature; while others his age followed the latest trends, Ty found solace and joy in the classics, listening to the older music that matched his spirit.

He is reunited in peace with his beloved grandparents Sam and Linda Knoll; and his great grandfather Samuel Knoll.

Ty’s memory will be carried on by his devoted family: his mother, Margaret Knoll, and stepfather, Anthony Salmon; his father, Jimmy Parker, and stepmother, Marty Mcada; and his siblings, Jacqueline and Devin Parker. He also leaves behind his grandparents, Cindy and Timmy DeChaume, as well as a large, loving circle of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends—including his best friend, Johnathan Hardin.

Ty’s life was a reminder to slow down, listen to the music, and care deeply for one another. He will be missed profoundly by all who were lucky enough to know his kind heart.
