Brad Parker

Albuquerque, NM

Brad Eric Parker, age 64, passed away Sunday, August 17, 2025 at Kaseman Hospital in Albuquerque, NM after a long battle with health complications related to a stroke he suffered in 2008.

Brad was born to the late Dr. Robert Parker and Olive "Connie" Godfrey on October 2, 1960. Brad was the adored husband of Marsha (Miksch) Parker, incredible father to three children, Aaron, Jordan, and Nicolette "Nikki" and a treasured grandpa to grandsons, Caden, Jaxon, and Phthalo. Brad is survived by his mother, Olive "Connie" Parker; older brother, Steve Parker; younger sister, Lisa Schatzman and brother-in-law, Mark; younger brother, Brett Parker, all of whom he loved dearly. Brad was the cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews who loved his gentle spirit.

Brad worked at Presbyterian Hospital as a Cardiovascular Technologist for many years and then went on to Biosense Webster where he traveled to different hospitals to serve patients with the utmost respect and empathy. To say Brad was a hard worker is an understatement; his ultimate goal in life was to make sure his family was happy and fulfilled, which included being on-call for days at a time only to have to head back to work in the middle of the night after working a 12+ hour day. There's not enough we can say about Brad. He was a man who taught us so much, and comforted us greatly during difficult times. It's hard to describe just how incredible a man he was; with his heart of gold he'd give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need, while at the same time he endured such physical suffering for many years. The lesson of Brad's life is that love overcomes pain, faith overcomes fear, and hope overcomes despair. His cherished memory will live on in our hearts forever.

There was no greater father or husband than Brad Parker. We love Brad and will miss him terribly, though it gladdens our hearts to know that he's finally at rest with the Lord he loved and served so faithfully all of his life.

Brad's life will be honored quietly, in the way he lived--with love, humor, and deep Christian connection. In keeping with his gentle spirit and his wishes, no public memorial will be held.
