He graduated from Wapanucka High School in 1969. He attended Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology in Okmulgee to study drafting.
Parker was very creative and an amazing artist and craftsman.
He worked many years in Dallas before returning to Atoka.
Since his youth, he was a member of the Cane Hill Methodist Church, in Bentley.
He grew up in the Boggy Depot State park where his grandfather was the park ranger.
