Parker Christian Forcke

Parker is survived by his loving wife, Rylee Forcke; his mother, Stacey Forcke; his sister, Peyton Forcke; his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his beloved Corral family, Emmeline, Matthew, Luke, Mark, Jack, and Cara.

Parker’s most cherished role was being a loving husband. He and Rylee met in middle school and later rekindled their relationship and became husband and wife on June 20, 2026. They had just moved in their new home that they built together just a month before. There is nothing that he valued more than his precious love for Rylee.

Parker was the proud owner of Forcke Enterprises. He built his company from the ground up during his Goochland High School years. After graduating, he attended VCU full-time while continuing to grow his business full-time. He was passionate about what he did and loved his employees as if they were family. He was highly respected in our community and was known for his faith, his love for his family and friends, his genuine kindness towards others, his determination, his integrity, his loyalty, his selflessness, his reliability, his empathy, his transparency, his focus, his positive can-do attitude, his ability to communicate, and most of all, his silly sense of humor. Parker knew no strangers and would often reach out to those less fortunate in their time of need. He spent years in the Gum Spring United Methodist Church Youth Group attending mission trips and was in the church choir.

Above all else, Parker loved Jesus. He lived his life with unwavering faith, and as he drew near to the end of his earthly journey, he held no fear, only peace. He knew exactly where he was going and exactly who was waiting for him with open arms.

Parker was preceded in death by his father, Christian Heinrich Turner Forcke, whom he often shared memories about with friends and family members. Parker and his dad shared a special bond in the 4 years that they had together, and he was excited knowing he’d be making up the 20 years he’d lost with him.

A funeral service will be held on Monday, October 26, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Hope Church, 12445 Patterson Avenue Richmond, VA 23238, with a brief reception following. All who knew and loved Parker are warmly invited to join us in celebrating his life.
