Richard Parks

Fortified with the sacraments of the holy mother church on July 13, 2015. Richard Charles Parks was born on August 20, 1967 and passed away from a struggle with cancer, peacefully, with family by his side. He is survived by his best-bud and precious son Matthew Parks. Beloved son of Bob and Mary Hampton. Awesome brother to Rita (Stan) Weber and Robert (Mary) Parks. Much adored uncle to Erin (Denis) Ditch, Jake (Chelsea), and Ricky Parks; and great-uncle to Evelyn and Connor. Rick was a loving father, son, and was a proud veteran of the US Army who served during Operation Desert Storm. He will be greatly missed but remembered in all our hearts forever!!

The family wishes to thank all those who cared and prayed for Rick and his family during these difficult times.

Ceremony will be privately held at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to The American Cancer Society are appreciated.
