Jerry Don Parker

Memorial service for Jerry Don Parker, age 68, of Daingerfield, Texas will be held at 11:00 A.M. on April 12, 2025, at Curry-Welborn Funeral Home.

Jerry Don Parker, 68, passed away peacefully on Friday March 28, 2025, in Daingerfield, TX. Jerry was born February 8, 1957, in Lubbock County, TX. to Lowell Parker and Ruby Jean Pope.

Jerry found comfort and purpose in life’s simple pleasures – telling a good story (or the occasional tall tale), tending to his notorious garden that somehow grew everything, cooking a great plate of BBQ, and caring for his animals. He was a loyal companion and fierce protector of his cherished dogs. He never met a stranger, and if you gave him five minutes, he’d have you laughing, thinking, and probably holding a flashlight while he fixed something. More than anything, Jerry’s pride and joy were his sons, Zachary and Joshua. His quiet strength, big heart, and generous spirit will be missed by all.

He is survived by his sons: Zachary and Joshua Parker; his brothers: Roy, Bill, Clyde, and Lowell Parker; his daughter-in-law, Kathleen Parker (Josh) and soon to be daughter-in-law, Molly McGlynn (Zachary); his grandchildren: Robert, Savannah, and Romie Parker; and his loving partner, Kim Frazer.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

We'd love to mimic a vibrant garden in tribute to Jerry. Please wear your favorite color to the memorial as we celebrate his life. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Let Love Live Animal Rescue (Letlove.live).
