Robert Allen Parker Obituary
Robert Allen Parker, 70, of Chattanooga, passed
away on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
Born and raised with deep love for family, Robert
spent his life in service, adventure, and joy. He proudly served as a pilot in
the United States Air Force for over 11 years, a role that shaped his
discipline, courage, and lifelong love of aviation. Following his military
career, he continued his passion for flying as a captain with Delta Air Lines,
where he served with distinction for more than 29 years.
A talented musician, Robert majored in music at
UTC and marched with the UTC Marching Band. He loved playing guitar and sharing
music with others. His humor was one of his defining traits—he had a gift for
making people laugh and could brighten any room with his quick wit. He
cherished classic comedy, especially The Three Stooges and The Pink Panther
films.
Robert was also a proud GEM member at Rock City
and had a lifelong fascination with trains. His enthusiasm earned him the
honorary title of train conductor at the Tennessee Railroad Museum—an honor he
treasured.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and
Louvella Parker; and by his grandchild, Cameron Roden.
Survivors include his son, John Parker (Jackie);
daughters, Natalie Parker Tuders (Wesley) and Gretchen Parker; grandchildren,
Makayla Parker, Brayden Howard, Patrick McElhaney, and Janna McElhaney;
great-grandchild, Shiloh Parker; and his former wife, Rachel Alexander.
Robert will be remembered for his humor,
stubbornness, passion for music and flight, and the love he carried for his
family. His legacy lives on in the stories he told, the laughter he inspired,
and the lives he touched.
Visitation is 12:00-2:00 pm Saturday at Lane
Funeral Home, Ashland Terrace. Funeral service will be 2:00 pm Saturday in the
Coulter Chapel of Lane Funeral Home. Interment will follow in Chattanooga
Memorial Park.
