Tim Parker

(From Ozark Memorial Park Crematory)

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
