September 2, 1962 - January 14, 2021
Randal Lee Parker ''Randy'' was born September 2, 1962 in Oklahoma City to Ralph and Sharon Parker. He is survived by his wife of 34 years Becca, daughter Tamika Parker, daughter Hannah Faught (Johnathan Faught), Granddaughters Ginny and Rory (due May 2021), Brother David Parker (Crissie Parker), Sister in-law Melissa Parker, many cousins, nieces, nephews and much loved family.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Tom and Darrell, and beloved dog Hermione.
Randy was foremost a family man. He worked hard to provide for his family, we moved a lot but he made sure we had fun, Louisiana Fun Day! He and Grand Ginny shared a birthday and they were best friends.
Randy and his brothers wrestled at a young age for Tri City and continued through high school at Putnam City High School in OKC. He was an incredibly talented wrestler helping his team win a state championship.
After high school, Randy joined the Marine Corp and served his country at naval weapons station Earle in New Jersey. He made lifelong friends during that time and was so proud to be called marine. Oorah.
Randy loved to cook and use many dishes while he did so; his poor wife washed a lot of dishes. He was an amazing chef and we were well fed. He loved fishing, reading, sooner football Boomer Sooner. He was a creative linguist, loved to tease his family a lot.
Randy was the District Manager at Waste Management in Russellville, Arkansas. He loved the men he worked with and was proud of them and the site.

Dear Hannah and Johnathan,
Our hearts break for the family of this wonderful man who was loved by so many. It is so difficult to understand why he was taken so soon, but we have to accept that God has his plan. We are praying that you find peace knowing he is now in God's hands and will suffer no more. Prayers for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Becca and family,
The words people are sharing about Randy are incredible. He was loved by so many, and his relationships with his family, friends and co-workers are remarkable. He was truly a special man, husband, father, inspiration and mentor. I wish he could read everything. I love you all so much and I pray you find peace in his passing and his ability to be free from pain and celebrating with his family in Heaven.

Becca and Family,
Matt and I were so heartbroken to hear about Randy's passing. He treated us like family. He made sure we never starved. He was a great boss and neighbor. We owe a lot to Randy. He got us to Arkansas and really got both of our careers rolling. We loved Randy and he will be greatly missed.
We are so sorry for your loss, even though we are far away now, we will always be thinking of you and your family.

Becca & family,
I had the privilege of working with Randy for the past 9 years. His positivity, his passion and his devotion to his teams (Russellville, Springdale, Little Rock, Van Buren) was inspiring. Like a true Marine, nothing was insurmountable. Randy was a dedicated father and always spoke about his true love -Becca. His family devotion was what made him a great man. He will be missed by many at WM, but his 'brother' Richard, will carry on his legacy with his team. A legacy of integrity, trust, and success. I am blessed to have known him. My deepest sympathies to you all, and may God bless you through the remainder of your days.

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Randy was a special person. Funny, fiercely loyal, and a wonderful friend. Some of my favorite school-age memories were of poker night at the Parker’s and watching Randy and Darrell wrestle. Rest in Power, Randy.

The Parkers were well known and respected as wrestlers at PC Central Jr High and PC High School. They were spurred on with the passion of their Mom, Sharon. Everyone who met them became their friends. I an proud to be their cousin. The Parkers are strong, just as I learned from my grandmother, May Parker Pendergraft. May GOD's Love, Peace and Comfort surround this family, today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, and foreverK

I am so very sorry. Jim talked about him as he watched him wrestle and bragged about how good he was. He was a true Parker and like his dad and Uncle's and brother he was all about taking care of and loving his family. I really enjoyed the OU Big Twelve football game we went to with him. He will be missed. Love Aunt Sue BOOMER SOONER

I met Randy in the Marine Corps and from that point I considered him a true friend. It is no surprise to hear what a great family man he was. I’ll continue to smile every time I recall the great times we had with all of our Marine brothers. May God bless Randy and his family.

Becca, I know you and all his family members will miss him yet all I can think about is the heavenly reunion he's having. He still gets to hold Rory before Hannah does 😉 I love you all and my God bless you all.

I remember being at Silver Dollar Coty and the national anthem came on the loud speaker....Randy stopped in the middle of the road and saluted!
That moment spoke to me!
