He was surrounded by loving care from his family on all sides, through his last days until the very end. We extend an invitation to join the Parker family for a Celebration of Life (and football!) on Saturday, December 1st, at Steve and Paula’s home in Franklin, Tennessee. The welcoming will begin at 2:00 p.m. CST, followed by his service, with a reception immediately after. We welcome all those who can attend to gather together with us at 2217 Castlewood Dr. Franklin TN. This will be a relatively informal service, so please come as you are, with dressing appropriate for the outdoor elements of early December. Steve has requested an intimate setting for his remembrance meant, above all, for warm conversation and joyful reckoning. Bring along your favorite stories to share, as such recollections have always been one of his favorite pasttimes. Similarly, if you have any photos you would like to share, please link them in a response to the original email so we can be sure to get them in our albums! Steve is survived by his wife Paula, and his 4 children Eric, Andrew, Stephannie, and Craig. His long list of contributions to our world include services to a vast array of schools, universities, clubs, and sporting organizations, such as the Unites States Soccer Federation. Please help us by sharing this news with those you may know who also loved Steve as we have, by forwarding this email or sharing this RSVP As a final request, please do not send flowers.
