David William Parker, age 57, of Forsyth, passed away March 2, 2022.
David was born on March 8, 1964 in Detroit, Michigan to the late Prince and Daneen Parker. David spent his early years in Michigan alongside twin sister Donna until the age of seven when the Parker family relocated to Georgia. He spent his years as a young adult in Clayton County and began his longtime career in remodeling work in East Point. David also lived in Tallapoosa, Georgia for a time. In 2017, David moved to Forsyth, where he spent the remainder of his life.
David was a free spirit who enjoyed riding his Harley, the outdoors, hunting and living off the land. He was known to spend time living in the woods or by a river, where he was most comfortable. He was handy and could fix just about anything. He was easy going but also stubborn. He had a heart for animals and once had a pet horse named Ranger and a pet owl. David was a simple man who had faith in God. He battled throat cancer and other health issues over the years. David enjoyed the simple things in life, particularly his beer, cigarettes, rocking chair and Southern Rock music.
David is survived by his sister and brother-in-law: Donna and Dave Garcia of Locust Grove; nephews: Jeffrey Campbell of Tampa, Kevin Campbell and his wife Marlana, currently stationed in Korea; great nieces and nephews: Anna Grace, Kaylee Faith, Brantley Parker, Easton Gabriel, Gorgeous, Bryson, Luke and Isabella; aunt: Marsha Potts (Allan) of Denton, TX and numerous cousins.
David will be remembered mostly for living life his way!!! Leaving those who knew and loved him with many fond memories and stories. Chaplain Mary Ruth Davidson will be officiating the Graveside Service at Camp Memorial Park, 1095 Hwy 54 E, Fayetteville. A Celebration of Life will take place on March 13, 2022 at 1 PM, 239 Crumbley Road, McDonough, the home of Greg and Cindy Kirkland. The Parker family is being assisted by Georgia Cremation, 1086 Hwy 54 W, Fayetteville. Messages of condolence may be left at www.GeorgiaCremation.com.

David was a quiet soul, the kind that appreciates God’s gifts of nature. Thank you Donna for nurturing that! May God comfort you during these next months. You two are forever in my heart!
Love you!
Marsha K Potts says
Donna, you were a wonderful sister to David and my prayer is that you will take comfort in that. I love the pictures you posted and what a handsome man (like his daddy) David was. Whenever I would think of David I always picture the skinny kid that was, all arms and legs. Praying Gods peace and comfort for you. Love you.
Kevin Campbell says
I Love and miss you Uncle. Even though I have not seen you in many years. You still taught me valuable lessons in life. To be true to who I am. To live life in happiness even if it’s against the currents of society. To treat others with love and respect. To value the small things in life we so often overlook. And there is no rock music except classic rock. Go rest high on the mountain. Love always Kevin.
Kevin Campbell says
Mom
Alana and I are praying for you. We love you and are here for you! Make no mistake about it. You’re love and care for Uncle is an example to us all. You allowed him to live his last days as he wanted to. While finding a way to bring more sunrises for his eyes to see. The sacrifices you made for him is the definition of love. I am proud of you and am learning from you every day!

Debbie Drew-Taylor says
Donna, my heart breaks for you. I never met David but when you would talk about him I felt like I kind of did. I know one thing for certain, he had one heck of a welcoming party when he reached his Heavenly home. With Scooter and all his brothers plus Mr. Taylor and your dad… I heard they feel kinda bad that they are having such a good time up there, so know David is doing his thing and also watching over you. Hugs and Love Debbie
