Not a day passes where I don’t think of you my dear friend, thinking about Gerard and your family today. Missing you always Sabritas.

Please know that my thoughts are with Gerard and your family today. I hope that the day is peaceful and comforting for everyone. That everyone enjoys all the good things and happy memories with you. 
I’ll always cherish the memory of Christopher.  I’m here for Gerard and your family.” ❤️

Chip,

We are deeply saddened by your passing. Your presence was a constant at all of our important celebrations, from our wedding to our son's baby shower. We had no doubt that you would have been with us for his birthday party as well, had you not been called to heaven. Our hearts are heavy with grief. I'm glad we were able to share many meals and long talks. Till we see you again Chip ! We love you 🩵

Chip, hailing from Virginia and sharing our Marine Corps experiences, we instantly connected. I apologize for taking some time to express my feelings, but grappling with the loss of another brother has been challenging. Your radiant smile, a constant presence, remains etched in my memories. I can't recall a single moment when you weren't grinning.

During tough days filled with bad news and weekend duties, I'd glance over to witness your infectious smile, a source of comfort amidst adversity. Chip, I am grateful for the time we spent together, and your beaming presence will forever be etched in my heart. My wife, Lacy also extends her condolences and appreciates the connection she forged with your wonderful wife during our time in Yuma.

Your family left an indelible mark on mine, especially during our deployments. Thank you for the camaraderie and the enduring impact you've had on us. Rest in peace, Brother.

Chris,

You will always be that beautiful presence in everyone's life. I remember making coffee runs with you when Corey was going over his Japanese course work. You were so intelligent and knew just about every subject. One of my earlier memories was of you pointing out every car that went by. You knew everything about every car, what was good or not. I was impressed! I do remember you suggesting a Honda Fit to me which I didn't get but I did eventually get a different Honda. 
You made the world a better place. I won't say goodbye because I know that I will see you again one day. Until we all meet again, we will carry fond memories in our hearts.

Love, 
Aunt Alissa

One day my mom was walking through Kohls and someone started speaking Japanese to her. It was Christopher and it made her so happy to see her grandson. She was very impressed by how well he spoke it. It made her day and gave her a wonderful memory.  

This is a picture of Chris with his grandmother Harumi Parker and Corey. She was getting things for them at an Asian grocery store. She enjoyed seeing what an amazing young man he was.

Thank you Chip for being a brother / friend. It was always fun with you around and an honor to serve with you and keep in touch over the years. You have touched many and have made a difference in peoples lives. I’ll see you again one day brother.

It was never a dull moment with you we were always up to no good but that’s why we got along so well and became such good friends we had a lot in common. You would always make the best out of every situation we got ourselves into and you would make the times a lot more fun with your ability to talk to and befriend anyone in the room. You’re the best friend a person could ask for I deeply regret not being here for you these last few years but I will see you again someday.

Chip you are so special to everyone you meet I miss your smile your jokes the songs we would share and every thing about you . You light up a room like no one else . You where taken to soon and I will miss u terribly .The world seems sadder and darker without you and I  just hope we can meet again that’s all I can hope for now .

It’s hard to accept that I won’t see you again, you were so young, so precious, such a special person in all ways possible. You’d lift up everyones spirit in every single setting you were in. Your smile would light up the entire room, when you’d ring our doorbell I always knew it was you and I’d get so excited to see you, I will miss you dearly. You leave a deep wound for those that had the privilege to know you. Thank you for always showing up to all our reunions, birthdays, & holidays you never missed a thing, you’d arrive with your topochico or weird hipster organic spirits, and we’d make the best of it. All the late night talks, all the hysterical laughs, the marked relationship we had, you became family. I feel like I am in a nightmare hoping to wake up from it, but my friend I know you’re with our God rejoicing, laughing, smiling and free. There is no better place to be in. I am confident I will see you again , in the kingdom of heaven. Condolences to the family, may God give you peace. Rest in Peace Sabritas.

Chris Parker was a very humble and hard working friend. He was one of the nicest guys I had the privilege to know. We spent many nights working together on the flight line. 

I’m sorry you had to leave so soon Chris. It has been a great honor and pleasure to have worked with you. My condolences to the friends and family.

Rest In Peace

I had the honor of serving with Parker and always admired the way he treated everyone with kindness and respect. His presence made a positive impact on those around him, and he was a true example of a commendable leader. While we weren't especially close, his character and the way he conducted himself left a lasting impression on me.

He will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace, Parker.

Agent Chip Macklin,

I cannot express how heavy my heart is. You were always there for me when I was going through my first divorce. Talked me through a lot of tough times, even if it was over snapchat, in the smoke -pit, or at your pad off of Arizona Ave. I am going to miss you so much. I am sorry I couldn't be there on the 20th to say goodbye. My son is having surgery that day. I wish you could have met him. He is only 14 months old and he is the light of my life. I think you would be proud of the father I am becoming. I learned a lot from you in the past years. I love you man. I'll make sure to make a toast and celebrate your life. 

With all my love to you and your family,
Tyler Clark
