On the evening March 5th, 2021 Michael Thomas Parker passed away at the age of 73. Surviving him are his two sons Travis and Troy, two sisters Ellen and Louise, and 10 grandchildren. His passing came after a long struggle with multiple chronic conditions. He was a man who loved life, liberty and motorcycles. A man who seemed to be invincible no matter the odds against him. Even during the last years when he was confined to a care facility as his conditions continued to decline, he still made friends, told his hard to believe but true stories of his past, and even danced a few times. But as his conditions removed his capacity to remember, and left him barely able to move or draw breath God in His infinite wisdom and mercy took him home to Him. He is now at peace, no longer in pain and able once again to enjoy liberty and breathe freely.
