It is with great sadness and heartfelt love that we announce the passing of Donald (Donny) Roy Parker on May 11, 2026. Donny was born December 15, 1953 to Donald S. and Patricia S. Parker. He is survived by his sister Pamela (David) and nephew Michael, brother Brian (Bonnie) and two nephews Stuart and Patrick. Donny and their children’s mother, Barbara Fiske, together have two beautiful daughters Kasey Barrie (Sean) Nicole Bowers along with his three grandchildren: Aubrey, Cecilia and Eleanor.

Donny was a graduate of Binghamton North High School. He joined the US Army in 1973 where he served our country and saw the world. When his service days were over he worked as an electronics technician and later went on to host his own political radio station.

He was a connoisseur of music, history, art and outer space; he despised the government!

He had his “best” friend ‘Run’ by his side from 2007-2023 they were the best of buddies and inseparable!

Donny always wanted things ‘to be paid forward’ as a gesture of love. Therefore, he will have body parts donated for transplantation, research, education or advancement of science.
