John Parker

May 20, 1950 — December 11, 2023

John Allen Parker, Jr. of Tinley Park, Illinois passed away on December 11, 2023 at the age of 73. John grew up in Harvey, Illinois and later attended Crete-Monee High School. He graduated college from Indiana University Northwest and went on to have a fulfilling career in the automotive parts industry where he made many friends.

John was an enthusiast of oldies music with a keen ability to quickly identify songs and a life-long numismatist (coin collector). He spent many summer nights attending local car shows admiring his favorite car, the Corvette. John was a connoisseur of pizza and useless trivia. Yet nothing was more important to John than his family.

John is survived by his devoted wife, Wendy. He was a proud father of two: Jonathan and Megan; step-father to Lori; and an adoring grandfather of six: Olivia, Aidan, Clay, Noelle, Sienna, and McKinley.
