Michael Eric Parker

January 4, 1981 - February 27, 2020

Michael Eric Parker, 39, of Pinson, Alabama went home to be with the Lord on February 27, 2020 after a bravely fought illness. His devotion to his family and firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace. Eric is survived by his beautiful daughters, Madison and Avery; his grandmother, Doris Parker; his father, Mike Parker (Somnuek); his mother, Marilyn Cole (Jimmy); his sisters, Dana Stewart (Tim) and Nack Parker; his nephew, AJ Stewart; his niece, Ellie Parker Stewart; and a host of uncles, aunts, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers; James Parker (Paw Paw) and Tommy Cole Sr.; and his grandmother Evelyn Cole. Eric lived and ministered at Changed Lives Christian Center and he absolutely loved what God had for him there. He loved the men there with all that he was. He was a faithful employee at Dixieland Electric where he worked alongside his Uncle Bo and Aunt Ramona. He loved them as if they were his own parents. Eric will be remembered by the many memories he leaves in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. The seeds he planted for the Lord will flourish for many years to come. Eric truly believed that to live Christ and to die is gain. We are hurting but he is with Jesus- healed, whole and forever happy.
