We Remember
PARKER, Leonidas
March 26, 2026 — May 5, 2026
Leonidas Matthias Parker was born on March 26, 2026, to Monaco and Charles Parker. He was their fourth child and was born with a unique heart condition. Over the course of more than a month, he was loved and cared for by his parents, siblings, family, and friends. Many prayers were said on his behalf. Due to the extent of his heart condition, he could not be operated on to further extend his stay on earth. On May 5, 2026, he was held by his parents as he breathed his last.
He is survived by his parents and siblings: Caecilius, Boniface, and Hypatia. He joins two other siblings, both lost before birth: Seraphim and Valentine. From conception to natural death, he was completely loved and cared for by all who knew him.

God bless you my precious friend.
