Obituary of James Parker
Please share a memory of James to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
James Sheridan Parker Jr. was born in Monroe, Michigan on June 27, 1951. He was one of five children born from the union of the late James Sr. and Darlene (Godwin) Parker.
James previously worked as a Machine Operator at Pioneer Metal. Outside of work, he enjoyed taking rides on his Honda Motorcycle around Michigan. James tended to be high strung at times, but always helped out the people he liked.
He had a lot of time invested in reading old western novels, and computer solitaire. James often spent time watching Star Trek and old Westerns on television, or listening to some classic country music, all of while enjoying his favorite candy; Good-N-Plenty's.
James Sheridan Parker Jr., age 63, of Monroe passed away at 8:30pm on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at Magnum Care of Monroe. His passing was preceded by both of his parents.
To cherish James' memory he leaves two children: James S. (Denise) Parker III of Kalkaska, Michigan and Harvey (Rebecca) Parker of Kentucky; three brothers: Danny (Theresa) Parker of Milan, Dale (Bev) Parker of Mancelona, Michigan, and Mark (Carol) Parker of Monroe; a sister: Candice Parker of Wayne; and six grandchildren: Samantha, Corina, Tanner, Leah, Tanya and Kara.
