William Roy Parker

William Roy Parker, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on November15, 2024, at Jefferson Bucks Hospital in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Born on March 12, 1957, in Bethesda, Maryland, William touched the lives of many through his warmth, generosity, and passion for life.

For an impressive 33 years, William dedicated his career to K Mart Warehouse in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, where he excelled in his role as a shipper/receiver. His steadfast work ethic and commitment to excellence earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues. He approached every task with the same dedication he demonstrated in all areas of his life. 

William was a man whose heart was filled with love for his family. He cherished spending time with his wife, Cynthia Lagoda Parker, and took great pride in his children: Joshua and Holly Tyler of Bristol, PA; Aaron Tyler of Philadelphia, PA; and Chastity Parker of Morrisville, PA. His legacy lives on through his 14 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, all of whom were a source of immense joy for him. 

William found unparalleled happiness in sharing memories and adventures, often guiding his grandchildren to explore historic landmarks that held significance and wonder.

The great outdoors called to William, and his spirit thrived on long walks through nature. He found peace by the water's edge, whether fishing in salt or fresh waters. Camping in his tent, he loved to travel up and down the East Coast, creating unforgettable experiences with his family. As a proud Harley motorcycle enthusiast, William reveled in the freedom of the open road, where every ride was an opportunity for adventure and camaraderie.

While William’s passing leaves a void that can never be filled, the love and warmth he shared with those around him continue to resonate. He is survived by his loving wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, as well as his father-in-law, Steve Lagoda of Tower City, PA, and several cousins who will fondly remember his spirit and zest for life. Preceding him in death were his parents, Roy Ishmael Parker and Frances Nation Parker.

In these difficult times, we hold on to the beautiful memories of William Roy Parker—a man who lived fully, loved deeply, and made a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. His spirit will forever remain etched in the hearts of all who knew him, as they continue to celebrate the extraordinary life he led.
