Although far too short, Parker Harrison Rist led an incredibly selfless and impactful life. He got his wings Monday, January 11, 2021, joining his papaw (John W. Knight).

The youngest of four, Parker was born February 19, 1998 to his loving parents Lentawn Knight and Mark Rist. Parker was an adventurous spirited and kind soul whose smile could brighten anyone’s day. Parker loved to spend his free time with his best friend and second oldest brother, Connor Rist, they spent their time together in their workshop tinkering and building anything they put their minds to. He had begun building a home from the ground up on family property in rural Missouri, where he dreamed that he and his long-time girlfriend, Adrianna Reeber, would call their own.

Parker will be honored and remembered for many reasons; his bright eyes and contagious smile, his ability to dream something and bring it to fruition, his light-hearted and easy-going attitude, his will to help anyone in need and the love he had for everything and everyone around him.

Parker becomes and angel to his Yai-Yai (Sanab Knight), Mom and Dad (Lentawn Knight and Mark Rist), older siblings (Miles Knight, Bailey and Connor Rist), girlfriend (Adrianna Reeber) and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A small ceremony will be held at Clary Funeral Home in Alton, MO for close family and friends, with a larger Celebration of Life later in his home state of Michigan.
