  25. Parker was my student: intelligent, warm, responsible, friendly, mature–a delight to have in class. The History/Political Science faculty and I are so terribly sorry to hear of his passing. He was a remarkable young man. My heart hurts at this loss, and wish to convey my deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Though we know there is absolutely nothing that can make you feel better, we’re grateful to know you’re not going through this alone. Your family, our Schaefer family, is so close and loving and strong. Though we may not be there in person, we are praying for all of you and crying for all of you, as we feel the loss from a distance. We are so grateful to know you have a strong support system in one another, and in faith of our loving Heavenly Father. We pray you find comfort in knowing He is with you. May you also find comfort in knowing we will see Parker again. And I know without a doubt that he is well taken care of, and not alone with many loved ones who have gone on before him including my Dad, Uncle Don, Aunt Mary Ann, and Aunt Karen. Schaefers are a strong people. May you feel loved and supported as those around you unite during this tragic time. Love your Michigan family, Neumann Nation

  79. So very sorry for your loss. Parker was coworker of mine. He was one of the most likable young men you could meet. He jumped into his work with energy, intelligence and competency. He was a kind and fun person to be around. His laugh was contagious, and he could work anyone.
    Parker was way more than a coworker. He was becoming a friend to me and others at CarMax. He was an avid sports fan, and we both enjoyed discussing the Cardinals and Blues. We also bonded over discussing political science. I was surprised how well versed he was and extremely knowledgeable about history. We also loved discussing the books he had read.
    So, in a real sense Parker was a kindred spirit to me. Most importantly to me was his sense of humor. His laughter got us all going. He was so much fun to work with and be around.
    I cannot say enough or come up with the words to ease the pain of losing such a person in your family. To me Parker would easily have achieved everything he set his mind to do. So, with that thought in mind, we all should try to emulate his fearless passion for life. We should all challenge ourselves to live each day like he would. We cannot go wrong if do that.
    God Bless, may Parker be Blessed and in the hands of our Father in Peace and Love.
    Amen
