1981- 2025
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, 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 on January 25 @2pm at the Zion Evangelical Missionary Church in Didsbury.
