Dear friends and family,
we are gathered here to honor the memory of our beloved Karate Kid.
I would like to say a few words about my friend Val known as the Kid. He and I have been friends since the good ol dojo days, which was over many moons ago. He has always been there when I needed him and will be dearly missed. Parker was a hard-working, intelligent (cough* we'll choose to ignore his stupid decision to go against the dark knight cough*), dedicated and very thoughtful person.
One of the Kid's best traits was that he always lived his life to the fullest and loved to laugh and smile. Whenever I was feeling down and needed a friend to lean on he was there for me. He has been through a lot over the years, but no matter where life took us we new we could count on one another.
He taught me a lot over the years, important things like the value of friendship and how to balance fighting and family.
It isn’t possible to put into words the importance of friendship and how much Karate meant to us. He positively influenced our life in so many ways and I will miss him with all of my heart. Kid, thank you for your friendship, I will miss you forever and never forget all of the time we spent together, fighting the bullies.
