Liam David PARKER
(August 1993 - May 2022) We are devastated to announce the sudden passing of Liam Parker. Liam, originally from St Thomas, unexpectedly passed away on Saturday 28th May 2022. Liam was taken far too soon and will be sorely missed by all his family and friends. Liam is the beloved Son of Allison and the late David, devoted partner of Lauma, loving Father to baby Willow, playful dog dad to Jet and revered Brother to Jodie. Liam was also a much loved Grandson, Nephew and Cousin to his Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Liam was a gentle giant and gave his all to those he loved whether it be family, friends or Swansea City F. C. One of Liam's most endearing traits was how laid back he was, some might joke so much so he was practically horizontal. However, this trait made it extremely easy to get along with him. Liam made friends everywhere he went. In lieu of flowers, if you do have any pictures with him or fond memories you wish to share about Liam please do contact a member of the family to share them. To celebrate Liam's life, a service will be held at Swansea Crematorium on Monday 4th July 2022 at 12.30pm with the procession leaving his family home in Skewen. As an avid Swans supporter who never missed a game, the funeral reception will be held at "The Liberty Stadium - Liam's home from home". For those wishing to remember their fond memories of Liam with us on this day, we ask for you to wear a Swansea City top or bright colours. Further enquiries to Phillip Davies of Phillip G.
