Robert Parker - Guestbook

I am so sorry. I will be praying for you and the family!

So sorry to hear of your loss. It is always difficult to say good bye but know that he will keep things lively in Heaven. Prayers for you in the days ahead as you move forward, as it will be difficult, but know that God will give you the strength you need.

So sorry to hear about Mr Parker passing. He was always such a free spirt and happy person who made me smile when I saw in around town. I know he loved what he did and all the students he taught over the years. Many of a person like myself have chosen careers that are art based because of his passion.

Dear family,
My deepest sympathy to your family. I was one of his first students, and later I had the pleasure of being his colleague. He was an inspiration to all of us. May God comfort your family in this time of sadness, but rejoice in the comfort that his life was well spent.

Rob was an inspiring and talented educator with an infectious and energetic personality. His positive impact on his students, collegues, friends and family is his legacy. He will be missed.

our deepest sympathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you. may God bless.

Although I didn`t know Mr. Rob as well as others, I will forever miss him teaching the young preschoolers of Christ Lutheran about art. I`m glad my nieces were guided by his intelligence many years ago when they attended Christ Lutheran. May he fly high in the heavens and make it colorful!!!

Sending my sincere sympathies to Rob's family. I did not know Rob personally but have heard so many wonderful things about him during his time with BISD. Cherish all of these beautiful memories each day.

So thankful to God for allowing Robert to cross my path in this earthly life. Our friendship and working together at Brenham High School for many years was a delight. His infectious smile and positive attitude was always a plus for any of our conversations and working together on many committees and school sponsored events. His influence on thousands of students will continue to be shared as he taught them more than art. His reflection of God at work in his life is perhaps his best legacy. Know he will be missed by his family, his church and his countless friends. Am honored to have been a coworker and friend.Now God has a heavenly helper when painted our beautiful sunsets.Thanks, Robert, for your friendship.

Ruth, Matthew and Jonathan,

Eternal rest granted to him O'Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him!
Rob was a very talented artist and teacher and it showed by his work.

Deepest Sympathy on the passing of Mr. Parker. He was my art teacher and was very good at his talent.

So sorry to hear this about Rob. I never really recall ever seeing Rob not smiling. He loved his work and the kids he taught.
He’ll be missed
Beautiful obit

Mr. Parker was one of a kind. From being the best art teacher to family friend, he was a special person. He will be greatly missed. Sending many hugs and prayers.

Ruth and family I am so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man. Remember to cherish your memories.

My heart is saddened by this heartbreaking news I can't help but shed some tears for this one. "Mr. Parker" changed me and shaped my life in ways not many would understand. He made me find a love of art like no one ever had. He was a light in my highschool days. He not only taught me love for art but also appreciation of great music too. He lead our art club weekly after school as we prepared huge banners for football pep rallies and games!! We would rock out the art room for those 3 hrs and those are some of my greatest memories. I still would go back to the highschool to visit him ocassionaly after I was done with highschool. He continued to push me to be creative and to make something of my life. I was in a dark spot at the tender age of 20 I had lost my grandfather and was really struggling to be someone and to get on with adulthood. He went into his art closet for about 30 min and returned with 6 pieces of my highschool artwork he had saved for the last several years. He then proceeded to give me a number to The Art Institute of Houston and told me to ask for a guy in admittance named Cliff. Two months later I started my college days at AIH and a few years later graduated with a degree in Graphic Design. He was an amazing man. I haven't seen him in years but I did send him a digital copy of my AIH portfolio and buisness card after graduation. I probably should have made more effort to keep in touch and thank him but life gets busy. So thank you Mr. Parker for being the man you were...while you're up there paint us a sunset please or just one of those cartoon characters you made us draw every morning in our warm up journel.??? sending love and prayers to Ms. Parker, Jonathan, and Matt. I am so sorry for your loss.

Parker family,
I am so saddened to hear of this tremendous loss. I had the benefit of being one of your dad's many students and remember his constant enthusiasm for all things creative. Thinking of you in this time of terrific grief. Sincerely, Sarah Bullock McIntyre

What a blessing he was...and his legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched. He truly made a difference...God is good.

We are so very sorry Parker family. Rob was a great art educator! Wonderful obituary says it all beautifully.

To the Parker Family: Our deepest sympathies on the loss of Rob. We taught together for 30 years and laughed and worked together on prom projects, the most notable being " King Tut". Yes, I knew of his Italian ancestry and he left us too early. I loved his smile. Ruth and sons and families, he loved you all.

The obituary described him well and made us miss him even more. My husband and I were fortunate to know him.

God be with you all!

Thanks for helping me unlock the artistic side of my brain, and for helping me see that perspective is so important, not only in art, but also in life. You made a huge difference for so many, and while I'm sad to see you go, I am comforted to know that you have now met your great reward. Condolences to Mrs. Parker, Matt, Jon, and the rest of the family!!!!

I would like to say i am sorry for your loss and i hope you and your family know that he is in peace now and you have an amazing angel watching over you now.

Mr. Parker will be missed. I was one of his students (2000-2001) who followed his lead and am now a Creative Manager. I wouldn’t be where I am without him. Thank you Mr. Parker. Rest in Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Mrs. Parker and family,
So sorry to hear of Mr. Parker's passing and recent illness. Definitely a shock to hear this news. Mr. Parker was a great man and educator that touched many lives and was always quick to greet a friend. May fond memories of all the good of Mr. Parker's life and your times spent together help comfort you all in the days ahead. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
And, what a wonderfully written obituary tribute to him...outstanding job to this author!
With Sympathy,
Christy Fuchs Moran and family

So sorry to hear of Mr. Parker’s passing. He was my homeroom teacher one year in high school. He was such a kind and friendly man, who always was smiling. Sending prayers.

Dear Parker Family, My heart is saddened of the news of Rob's passing. Yet my heart is rejoicing that he is resting in the Arms of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Rob lived life to the fullest and we are all a better person for having known Rob. May you feel the love and peace of Jesus now and in the days ahead. God's peace!

Dearest Parker Family;
How I love you all. Distance never separates love, it only makes it stronger. Rob and I had many beautiful conversations while laughing at the antics of our students. Robert served as my daughter’s teacher and encouraged her love of art. He helped me with anything and did it without complaint. I could go on and on since I admire this family. Rest Rob, you always served! You will always have a special place in my heart and thanks for loving your students!
Sincerely and in sympathy,
Ashley Sauls
