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.

So sorry to hear this news. My deepest condolences to the Parker family.
In high school, I was probably the worst football player ever and Spencer was one of the best. Having said that, I found myself playing on his team from time to time at Willows Beach. Even assisted Spence in scoring a touchdown once – that’s a highlight
of growing up in Oak Bay I’ll remember forever.
Rest In Peace Spence.

So sorry to hear about Spencer’s passing. We will all miss him dearly here at Christie’s Pub. He was first class all the way!!
All the best to you and your family Betty.
It is with great sorrow that I read of Spencer’s passing. It has been many years since I saw my friend, Spencer. I still feel the warmth of his friendship and I remember his smile. My condolences to you, Betty and your family. He was a good person and will be greatly missed.
We are so saddened to hear of Spencer’s passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Love from the Scottens
My deepest condolences to the entire Parker family. Have fond memories of Spence from days at UVic back in the 70s. Spence was always an easy guy to talk to with a great sence of humour.
Although I hadn’t run in to Spence since those UVic days I was always looking for him whenever Brenda and I would see the pilot boats in action down by Ogden Point.
Sincerely,
Peter Rushton
AHH Betty and all the Parker family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Growing up next door to the Parkers was the greatest, Spence used to come to our house Friday afternoon and ask Dad for a beer . Larry liked his beer room temp and Spencer liked it cold so dad started to put a beer in the fridge on fridays for Spencer. Spencer sense of humour was wicked and his heart so kind. I am so honoured to have know him . He was a real gentleman

My deepest sympathy to you, Betty, and all the family. Growing up next door to Spencer and all the Parkers brings back great memories of all the parties and wonderful times we had together. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer family.
