Steven Brent Parker

Steven Brent Parker left us on October 16, 2018; this is his story. Brent was a wonderful man that was loved, is missed, and will always be cherished.  Our “Brent-a-roo,” as he was called by so many, was an amazing husband, son, and brother. Brent had a huge heart and would do anything for a friend or family member. He was the life of the room and always had a witty response for any situation.

Brent’s story starts on July 12, 1979, when the youngest son to Chester and Mary Margaret Parker was born in Augusta, Georgia. As a son of Georgia Power, Brent spent his childhood years in Waynesboro, Augusta, and Peachtree City, Georgia. Brent graduated from McIntosh High School in 1998 and went on to attend Georgia Southern University where we received a Bachelor’s of Business Administration in Finance in 2005. Brent loved Georgia Tech Football and never missed a game. The Parker family spent many Saturdays around Grant Field cheering on their beloved Yellow Jackets. Brent’s passion for the Jackets even brainwashed his wife Brooke, a die-hard Georgia fan, to cheer on the team, except on rivalry weekend, the last Saturday in November. 

Loved ones that cleared the path to eternity for Brent are his father Chester Lanier Parker Jr. and his grandparents.  Brent is survived by his mother Mary Margaret Parker, his older brother Lanier Parker and partner Charlotte Butler, his wife Brooke Parker, and his many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. The loss of our Brent-a roo is felt so deeply by so many, but we can take solace that one day we will see our Brent-a-roo again.  We love you and miss you Brent.

Brent was always so proud of his Dad's work helping victims of disasters so, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Red Cross for Hurricane Michael victims or to the charity of your choice in Brent’s name.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 2, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Flanigan Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.at the funeral
