Mr. Parker was an active and devoted member of St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Lizana where he was recognized for his ministry in Project Hope and known for his love and compassion to the church and community.  He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Wolf River Smoking Team where he loved to BBQ and smoke meat.  He also loved a good bonfire while listening to George Jones with an “Old Mil” in hand. His love and legacy will live on until the end of time.

As those of you who knew Glen, you also know what a man of Faith he was.  In lieu of flowers, we ask that masses are offered up for his soul.
