Robert “Bob” Wayne Parker, 85, of Lexington, Missouri, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.
Bob was born on July 28, 1941, in Lexington, Missouri, to Raymond and Nettie (Wood) Parker. A lifelong hard worker and proud American, Bob served his country honorably in the United States Navy for four years before continuing his service with the Missouri Army National Guard for another 19 years. His dedication to serving others was an important part of who he was.
After his military service, Bob spent 35 years working at Lyon’s Dye Casting Co. in Buckner, Missouri, where he was a Tool and Die Maker. Bob took pride in his work and in being someone who could use his hands, his knowledge, and his creativity to make things right.
Those who knew Bob will remember him as a man who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, especially spending time with his family and friends. He loved woodworking and enjoyed working on projects that allowed him to create something with his own hands. He was also an avid collector of just about anything, and his collections were a reflection of his curiosity and the many things that caught his eye over the years. Bob had a way of finding something interesting in the ordinary and enjoyed sharing those interests with the people around him.
Above all, Bob was a family man. He leaves behind a lifetime of memories with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and friends who will miss his presence, his stories, and the unique personality that made him who he was.
Bob is survived by his three children, Daniel Parker, Sr. of Raytown, Missouri, Lucresia James of Olathe, Kansas, and Teresa (Ron) Hewins of Ottawa, Kansas; eight grandchildren, Daniel (Courtney) Parker, Jr., Stephanie (Isaac) Preston, Breanna Parker, Nick Parker, Crystal Kuttler (Paul Coggeshall), Cavary James, Elijah (Ashley) Perry, and Mathias Sedlack; 12 great-grandchildren; a brother, Raymond Parker of Raytown, Missouri; a sister-in-law, Carol Parker of Texas; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his grandson, Matthew Parker; his sister, Deanna Due; and his brother, James Parker.
Bob's life was one of service, hard work, family, and the many interests that brought him joy. While he will be deeply missed, the memories he created with those he loved will continue to live on through the generations of his family.

Corey had a natural interest and talent for working with cars, and he built a career doing something he enjoyed. At the time of his passing, he was the manager of Carstar in Lexington, Missouri.
Those who knew Corey knew there was never just one way to describe him. He had a personality all his own and a wide variety of interests that kept life interesting.

He loved watching movies, firing up the grill for a good barbecue, and, most of all, spending time with the people who mattered to him.
His family was an important part of his life. Corey treasured the time he spent with his parents, brothers, nieces, nephews, and friends. He also had a special companion in his beloved dog, Rolo, who was a faithful part of his life and brought him plenty of happiness. The memories made during family gatherings, time with friends, and the everyday moments that may have seemed ordinary at the time will now be among the most precious memories his loved ones carry with them.
Corey is survived by his parents, Phillip and Paula Wasmer of Odessa, MO; two brothers, Christopher Paul Wasmer of Lake Ozark, MO, and Casey (Amy) Wasmer of Oak Grove, MO; four nieces, Justice (Darren) Jones, Liberty Wasmer, Serenity Wasmer, and Carolina Wasmer; four nephews, Carter Wasmer, Camden Wasmer, Carson Wasmer, and Cruz Wasmer; former significant other, Jennifer Peterson; his beloved dog, Rolo; and many relatives and friends.

Corey leaves behind a family who loved him, friends who shared countless memories with him, and a lifetime of moments that will not be forgotten. While his family and friends will deeply miss his presence, they will continue to carry Corey with them through the memories, stories, laughter, and moments they shared together.
