Parker was a graduate of North Vermilion High School Class of 2020 and LSU Eunice Class of 2023.  Parker loved spending time outdoors, especially duck hunting and fishing.  He loved spending time with his family and friends.  He was the kindest, most genuine soul, always looking out for others, always making everyone laugh and always making sure they were okay.  As quiet and shy as he seemed to most, those who truly knew him knew that when he was around love and laughter were guaranteed.

Parker’s family expresses the following sentiments around their loss:

You were loved beyond measure.  Emptiness abounds us.  Our hearts are truly shattered.  Our lives are forever changed.

He is survived by his parents, Tony and Kelli Romero of Maurice; Godmother/Aunt Beth Broussard and Lynnette Broussard of Kaplan; Godfather/Uncle Mike Romero and his fiancée, Amy Broussard of Leroy; maternal grandparents, Kenneth and Myra Broussard of Kaplan, paternal grandparent, Shirley Romero of Leroy; and his special and dearest cousins, Jacob Romero, Justin Romero, Mia Boullion, Slade Boullion, Whitney Boullion, Kailie Hebert, Jake Hebert and Elie Hebert.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Charles Romero (PawPaw), paternal great-grandparents, Andrew Sr. and Lillie Mae Romero, and Nolton and Euna Broussard; and his maternal great-grandparents, Elie Jr.(Black) and Dorothy Broussard, and Wallace and Effie Primeaux.
