Parker Lee Jones left his earthly home surrounded by his loving family on December 7, 2015. Every day of Parker’s 10 years of life was a gift. Parker had a perfect spirit and was loved by all who knew him. He had the ability to bring out the best in everyone around him. Parker was born on October 21, 2005 in Des Moines, Iowa. He was loved by his parents Jacob and Natalie, brothers and sisters, Caleb, Amy, Chase and Katie. Grandparents Mel and Elise Jones, Chris and Pat Freestone, and his extended family will miss him greatly. A visitation will be held Friday December 18, 2015 from 6-8 PM at the LDS Chapel at 777 E. Elliot Rd, Gilbert, AZ. Funeral services are Saturday, December 19, 2015 at 10 AM at the same location.
“I bear witness of that day when loved ones whom we knew to have disabilities in mortality will stand before us glorified and grand, breathtakingly perfect in body and mind. What a thrilling moment that will be! I do not know whether we will be happier for ourselves that we have witnessed such a miracle or happier for them that they are fully perfect and finally ‘free at last.’”
-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
I want to offer my deepest condolences to the family. It is hard to fathom losing someone so young, and getting through this may at times seem unbearable…but please find comfort in the scripture found at Revelation 21:4, where it says that death, pain and sorrow will be gone forever. God will restore his original purpose for the earth and reunite us in the loving arms of those we have lost in death. (John 5:28,29). I hope these words bring a measure of comfort during this very difficult time.
My deepest sympathies,
Charlotte Tripp
