Maternal great grandparents: Leona and Junius Blanchard, Mancy Dantin, and Louby Dupre. Paternal great grandparents: Earl and Rose Boudreaux, AJ and Beverly Porche; family pets, Bear and Pheobe.
Parker was everyone’s favorite neighborhood Spider-Man. He loved his dogs- Ziggy and Roso, fishing, swimming, arcades, riding scooters, basketball, racing, trains, and “cruise cruising” around the neighborhood. The holidays were his favorite time of year, especially decorating, and he loved to countdown the days to his next travel adventure.
Parker knew no stranger, considered everyone his “best friend”, and was an old soul at heart. He was strong, courageous, and compassionate. He was always more worried about others than himself.
Organ donation played a very large role in his life, as he was actively listed and waiting on a new liver. We ask that everyone honor his memory by bringing awareness towards the cause and registering to become an organ donor in his name. The family would like to thank the medical teams at Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Texas Children’s Hospital for the excellent care they have given to Parker over the last 10 years.
Parker will forever be remembered for how many lives he has touched, and he will be loved forever and ever, to infinity and beyond.
