Spencer passed away peacefully just before his 65th birthday. He was an amazing husband, father, uncle and friend. Predeceased by his parents William (Bill) and June Parker. Survived by his wife Betty, children Tyler Parker (Lindy Adamkowski), Tessa Parker (Micheal Perry), brothers Stephen Parker (Joyce), Scott Parker (Irene), sister Stephanie Parker (Peter Law), brother-in-law Barry Gibbs (Terry), nephews Ian Gibbs (Jamie), Braden Gibbs (Sheena), Nathan Gibbs, William Law, and honorary family Doug Branter (Christine), cousins, aunts, and many good friends.
Spencer worked at the Pacific Pilotage for thirty years where he made many friendships. We will always remember his devotion to his family, his sense of humour, his kindness, generosity and selflessness. He was always ready to lend a helping hand. Fly with the angels, dance with the stars.
Many thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Jubilee Hospital, CTU 5NE and Victoria General Hospital.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 8th, 2019, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the Parker’s home.

Betty: So very sorry to hear of Spencer’s passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family at this time. We heard great stories from your Dad’s birthday party about you and your family; how wonderful that you were all able to attend and be with extended family.
Betty, and family, Spencer was a great guy and you will all miss him dearly. Whenever I think of him I break out into a smile and chuckle as he had that affect on people. He was totally devoted to you all and you will carry him in your hearts forever with all the wonderful memories of your times together. I think I read a verse recently about don’t cry because its over, smile because it happened. Spencer would like this.
Spence was a great guy to work with, we will all miss his sense of humour and consideration for his fellow workers. Way to soon Spence. Condolences to Betty and family, you were his life. RIP old friend
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Spence and I had a great working relationship – always there when needed, and always a smile even when the going was tough.
Betty and family: I know this is a devastating time for you all. I did not know Spencer well, but I do remember you and him as youngsters all those years ago, and how cheery and bright you were as a couple. It is very painful and unfair to lose your beloved and father too soon. My deepest condolences.
