Scott Douglas Parke

Scott Douglas Parke Born 11/21/1958; Died 12/20/25. He was 67. He was proceeded in death by his parents John Thomas Parke and Barbara Jane Lavell and all but one of his siblings. He is survived by his brother John Parke and his wife Ruth Ann Ward. Scott lived life with many hopes and dreams. He loved and lost. He didn't have an easy time of it. He cared deeply about the people he loved. Unfortunately, not all cared as deeply back. He had a good heart. He was the best husband to me. He took such good care of us. His dogs, Lasey and Bentley miss him terribly. 

His Jewish faith was a priority. He was proud to be Jewish. He was also a Mason and communicated with several Masonic Lodges and fellow brothers around the country. 

He loved cooking and would have been an excellent chef. His Macadamia Nut Halibut with a brown butter sauce was amazing!

He also really enjoyed astronomy. Looking up at the heavens and seeing the stars and planets with his multiple telescopes, was an enjoyment. NASA was his source for what to look for. 

The Dodgers were by far his team. He watched every game including the preseason. It was wonderful seeing them play and win the World Series with amazement in 2025, shortly before Scott left us. Just when he thought all was lost the Dodgers pulled it off! That was a great gift for him. He didn't ask for much but did ask for the shirts the team wore on the field when they won. He got them for his last birthday. 

Scott was a wonderful guitar player. He preferred the electric guitar. He could play for hours and had a good voice. 

He identified his life with being a soldier. He kept in touch with a few that he served with. The military changed him. He had to be stronger and because of his service and what happened to him, he was/

Scott loved to travel. He had been to many states. Trips in the future were planned. Paris and Italy, we were

The world is a bit more empty without Scott Douglas Parke in it. He will be greatly missed. 

May he rest in Eternal Peace.
