Benjamin Parker Obituary

Benjamin "Ben" P. Parker

Feb 25, 1957 - Jul 28, 2022

Norwalk

Those who loved Ben are proud to have been able to call him a husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, rockstar, and dear friend. Ben was a bright light in this world, and his spirit was second to none. Ben lived his final years facing the challenges of Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease and he showed courage in meeting life's obstacles with a smile and a contagious laugh. He was surrounded by devoted family and friends, who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

Ben passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Thursday, July 28, 2022, in Norwalk.

Ben is survived by his beautiful wife of 32 years, Anne (Mushett) Parker; daughters, Katie, Julia, and Caroline; bonus sons, Samuel Miller and Andrew Davis; son, and best friend, Samuel Benjamin Parker; mother; siblings; and many nieces, nephews, loving in-laws, and countless friends. He is now reunited on the other side with his father, Joseph Parker; in-laws, James and Mary Mushett; brother-in-law, Ed Kane; nephew Joseph Moroni; and many friends.

He is remembered for his friendly nature, incredible sense of humor, and the unconditional love he had for his family.

Visitation will be 1-4 p.m. Sunday, July 31, 2022, at Walker-Eastman-Heydinger Funeral Home, 98 West Main Street, Norwalk, Ohio, 44857. A private service and burial will take place at a later date.
