Gregory Alan Parker, 52, of Picayune, Miss., passed away Wednesday, August 29, 2012 in Picayune.

Gregory Parker was more than just an average man, but he would tell you otherwise. He was a son to his parents, a brother to his siblings and a wonderful father to his daughter. Yet that barely scratches the surface of Greg.

He was a shoulder for those to cry on, a helping hand for those in need, an attentive ear for those with troubled thoughts. His heart was a genuine as a person’s could be and he never said no to anybody. When it counted, and it always did to him, he never failed anyone when they needed him.

He is survived by: his parents, Cecil and Gloria Parker of Picayune; one daughter, Amber Parker of Carriere; one brother, Garland Parker of Picayune; and three sisters, Sherrie Green of Carriere, Phillis Polk of Prentiss and Paula Burnette of Picayune.

Arrangements are under the direction of Picayune Funeral Home and Crematory.
