Phillip Brack Parker

February 27, 1951 — September 17, 2024

Phillip Parker, a man of courage, passed away on September 17, 2024, in his hometown of Dothan, Alabama, where he was also born on February 27, 1951.

Phillip's journey began as the son of Joe and Lavelle Parker, who preceded him in death, along with his brother Timmy Parker. His formative years were spent within the warm embrace of Dothan, where he graduated from Rehobeth High School. After his high school graduation, he attended Troy University and obtained a bachelor’s degree in history and psychology. His education laid the foundation for the exemplary life he would lead.

After high school, Phillip made a lifelong commitment to protecting and serving others, illustrated by his illustrious 20-year career with the Dothan City Fire Department, retiring as a respected fire sergeant. He was the husband of Stefanie Parker for 38 years. Together, they raised two sons, Kevin and Kyle Parker, who continue to carry forward his legacy.

Phillip's passion for life extended beyond his professional endeavors. He and Stefanie shared a love for horses. His retirement was marked by tranquil days training walking horses at their family farm. He enjoyed being in nature, whether it was tending to his vegetable garden, working in the yard, or spending time at the barn.

A man of simple pleasures, Phillip relished the moments spent watching his favorite TV show, "Monk," which reflected his own meticulous and sometimes stubborn nature. His love for animals was evident to all who knew him, and his adventurous spirit shone brightly during his younger years, especially when raft racing down the river.

Phillip's brothers, Frank and Tommy Parker, and sister-in-law, Jill Parker, along with many loving nieces, nephews, and a host of other family members and friends, will miss his headstrong ways.

Those who knew Phillip will remember him as a man who was set in his ways but always guided by a profound sense of duty. His legacy is imprinted not only in his acts of bravery as a firefighter but also in the quiet moments spent nurturing his garden or caring for his horses.
