Born December 20, 1983, in Little Rock, he was remembered as a devoted father of six, a loving son to Opal Jean Forte and Anthony Laray Parker, and a man guided by Christian faith who brought laughter and generosity to his large extended family.

A walk-through visitation was held April 21, 2023, and a celebration of life took place April 22 at Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church in Greenbrier, where he was later laid to rest. Public information about the circumstances of the shooting, including any suspects or arrests, has not been released, leaving family and community members seeking answers and justice.
