In Memory
Gregory Parker
At the age of 43, Greg passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, after a year of battling cancer. Greg was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia to Frank and Dianne Parker on August 5th, 1981.
Born into a military family, Greg had the opportunity of living in many different places throughout Canada and the United States, before settling in Edmonton. He was a country boy at heart even though he grew up in the city. His love for animals and the country life, eventually took him to Olds College where he graduated from the Farrier Science program. Greg had a special way with horses which led him not only into the farrier business, but also into guiding and leading pack trips for a number of youth camps. Greg met his wife Corine (Harrison) Parker at one of these camps and they were married on September 14, 2007. Greg had a great love for the outdoors, animals, people, his work as a farrier, and for ministry.
Greg’s faith in Christ was his sustaining strength, and his greatest passion.
Greg will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Corine; parents, Frank and Dianne Parker; sisters, Sarah (Luc) Tremblay and Anna (Rob) Specht; grandfather, Stan Parker; eleven nieces and four nephews, as well as a large extended family, and many friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Zion Evangelical Missionary Church in Didsbury on Saturday, January 25, 2025 @ 2:00 PM.

Raised in a Catholic faith, they brought me with them to Rosemount Bible Church in Montréal, that revived my faith and made me feel Christian.
I remember him as a faithful servant of our Savior.
May the Lord support you with his infinite love, miséricorde and compassion in the hope to know him by the right side of God, interceding for us .
I understand your pain and I Share it.
From beyond the atlantic océan and in union of prayers,
Your friend Olivier

Oh how our hearts go out to you all at this very difficult time. Memories of Greg are of such a cheerful little fellow with those sparkling dark eyes when you lived in Nova Scotia, Quebec and Georgia when we last saw him. It is wonderful to hear of his sustaining faith in Jesus in whose arms he now safely rest. May the Lord sustain, comfort and keep you as you move forward with memories of this treasure that he loaned to you for a few short years.
Much love and prayers,
Faye and Duane
