Obituary of Parker Andrew Gladding

Parker Andrew Gladding graced this earth from October 15, 2006 until January 6, 2019. Parker was a 6th grader at Lockmar Elementary School in Palm Bay, Fl. He was an amazing child who taught everyone he touched how to love, laugh, and ignore the stupid stuff unless you could giggle about it. Parker’s giver of life, Stacy Lee Gladding, allowed Colleen Harris to be his Mom. As a bonus, he got another Mom, Randa Knepp. He is also survived by two brothers, Evan Clover and Brian Burns, two sisters, Jessica Perkins and Aimee Upchurch, his grandfather Kim Gladding (Crystal Rux), Papa & Memaw Bryon and Marti Bennett, grandparents Lori and Charlie Hansen, uncles, Conner Bennett and Eli Bennett, and his amazing godparents, Bradford Janetzkekk, Sheila Whalon, “Sissy” Jessica Perkins and Don Archambeau. Parker was preceded in death by Aunt “Bee” Brynn Bennett and his best friend and personal confidant, “Tee Tee” Tracey Suarez.
