Jim was born December 4th, 1961 to Susan (Joyce) Parker, née Bente, and James E. Parker. He grew up in Apple Creek with his brother Jeff (Cindy) and sister Julie, to whom he remained close throughout his life.
Jim is survived by his two children, Erin and Drew Parker. He instilled in both of them a passion for music, a love of laughter and an unending curiosity about the world. Erin and Drew will cherish their fond memories of a childhood in a home filled with laughter, friends and a sense of community. They share their sadness in his passing with Laura Lemon, Caryn Deal Betson and Jackie Driscoll. He was loved by his many nieces, nephews and cousins, all of whom loved his mischievous sense of humor.
