Ronald Eugene Parker, Jr., son of Camaletta Lofton and the late Ronald Eugene Parker, Sr., was born July 28, 1994, in Albany, Georgia.  At a young age, he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior.

He received his formal education in the Dougherty County School System. Throughout  his school years, he was a very outspoken, jovial student who was often referred to as the class clown.

After moving to Atlanta, Georgia, Ronald became a skilled construction worker and was employed with various contracting companies for numerous years.  He was a very conscientious worker who gave his best at whatever he  did.

A strong-willed, energetic individual, Eric lived life boldly and with intense energy.   He was free-spirited, enjoyed life to the fullest, gave freely of himself, and always kept a positive attitude.  One of his greatest joys was spending time with family and friends.  His love of life, sense of humor, and enthusiastic personality attracted many people to him and kept them on their toes.  In his leisure, he enjoyed rapping and creating rhythmic beats.

Although his earthly life was far too short, Ronald created memories that will never be forgotten.  In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ruby Lee Parker, Joseph Parker, and Willie Lofton.

Loving memories will forever remain with his mother, Camaletta Lofton; his daughter, Skylar Parker-Woods; siblings, Tareva Davis, Yalonda Blocker, Laceya Blocker, Wanda Canty, Andrea Canty, Hannah Thomas, Teshonda Jackson, Teneikquia Jackson, Marcus Parker, Leon Allen, Coey Michael Goodman, and Chandler Blocker; grandmother, Francella Brown; aunts and uncles, Regina Jones, Sandra Hopkins, Loretta Parker, Gregory Parker, and Leon Brown; a very special friend, Jassmine Evans; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends.
