Timothy Joe Parker, 67, entered eternal rest on July 13, 2024, in Joplin, Missouri. He loved his family, all his extended family, and friends. They were everything to him, encompassing all he wanted and needed in life. He was married for over 44 years, raised 3 wonderful children, and was delighted by his most precious grandchildren. Being a grandfather brought Tim the greatest joy of all. He loved having family get-togethers with brisket, hosting sleepovers, and passing out fruit, ice cream, popsicles, and pizza. He kept the best mowed yard in the neighborhood and enjoyed fishing at Roaring River. Tim was a proud Texan who was emblazoned with the ‘Kent County Cool’. He was a talented carpenter and member of the Local 311. He would say he had a good life and would not change one thing! His legacy of love, integrity, patience, and unwavering loyalty will forever resonate in the hearts of his loved ones. A celebration of Tim’s life will be held at 12:30 pm on Sunday, August 25th, 2024, at The Main Event located at 611 S Main St in Joplin. All arrangements are under the direction of Ozark Memorial Park of Joplin, MO

Timothy Joe Parker – I met Tim 46 years ago in Lubbock Texas. He was a very principled man. He became my very best friend and married my sister Teresa. I will forever be grateful for the family he leaves behind and the privilege of having known him and the memories of the times we shared.
You will be missed!

Loved this guy when we were in school together. He was a brother friend. The kind of person you could turn to when needed and check on you later. Im sure he grew into a great man. My prayers for all his loved ones
Teresa, Adam, Kaylee & Eric We loved Tim so much and my son Reid and daughter Holly will never forget our visit to the creek in Joplin and first time either one went fishing! Then Holly put her fish in the back of our brand new Yukon and we forgot about it!! Many memories of laughs and fun times with the Parkers! We love you

Tim lived with our family for a short time back in the seventies, I have such fond memories of him. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing him for many years but I remember that bright and beautiful smile. My heart goes out to Teresa and the rest of Tim’s family. He will never be forgotten.
