David "Dave" Parker

d. August 19, 2024

Nucla

David "Dave" Parker was born June 7, 1933, in Ansley Nebraska to Lemuel and Alma Parker. Dave was the third of seven children.

He was raised on a small family farm near Broken Bow Nebraska. As a young adult he traveled around Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas working several jobs, including a bakery where he met Marcella Urban. This was the beginning of an inseparable union, and they were married on April 14, 1953. They had a son, a daughter, a grandson, a granddaughter, six great grandchildren, and one great-great granddaughter.

Dave started working for the Colorado DOT on the Denver/Boulder Turnpike in 1961. In 1964 he transferred to Nucla, Colorado and eventually Paradox where he finished his career of over 31 years. This would be where Dave and Marcella choose to spend the rest of their lives surrounded by many dear friends and family.

Dave passed away at the age of 91 on August 19, 2024. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Marcella, and four siblings.
