A memorial service for Jeffery L. Parker, 68, of Hanceville will be 4:00, Saturday August 24th at Hanceville Funeral Home Chapel.  The family will receive friends at Hanceville Funeral Home from 2:00 until 4:00 P.M. on Saturday.

Mr. Parker was born May 30, 1956 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee to Joseph and Dora Parker.  He passed away August 15, 2024 in Hanceville, Alabama. From a young age, Jeff was drawn to the ocean finding excitement in the vast and open waters. The deep sea was his sanctuary, where he spent countless hours casting lines, navigating waves and sharing stories of the one that got away. For Jeff, deep-sea fishing was more than just a hobby; it was a source of endless memories with family and friends.

Mr. Parker is survived by his children, Jeffery "JR" Parker (Cynthia), Beth Parker, Jenny Lynn Parker, Zeb Parker; grandchildren, Jasmine Parker, Kaylee Parker, Serenity Parker, Emily Hardin, Rosalie Hardin, Clayton Parker, Zack Diedrich and Trinity Diedrich; mother, Dora Parker; siblings, Mike (Debbie) Parker, Troy (Marlene) Parker, Jennifer (Steve Elliott) Williams, Craig Parker and Cathy (Keith) Parker; and a host of nieces and nephews.

The family would also like to give a special 'Thank You' to his wonderful caregivers, Tina Phillips and Gladys Veigl for the love and care they provided throughout Mr. Parker's transition.

Mr. Parker was preceded in death by his father, Joseph A. Parker
