Edgar Collin

Parks

It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my beloved father, Edgar Collin Parks. God called him home on Sunday, October 20, 2024 at the University Of Toledo Medical Center surrounded by his loving daughter and family in his final moments.

Born on June 26, 1934 in Toledo, Ohio to James H. Parks Sr. and Lilly B. Parks.

Edgar was married to Barbara Ann McNeal in 1957 for 62 years. To that union, they had one son and one daughter. Edgar was a dedicated husband and father. He was a lifetime member of the United Missionary Baptist Church where he served on the Trustee Board.

He was employed by the United States Postal Service as a carrier and later as a supervisor for 30 plus years. He was also employed at Toledo Building Services for many years. After retirement, he and his wife formed a business called E and B Video Services which was a service capturing videos of weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and reunion celebrations.

Edgar's hobbies were golfing, playing the organ and piano. He and his wife enjoyed traveling also. Edgar was a member of the Toledo Golfer's Club until their closing. He was a Cleveland Browns fan. He also enjoyed building computers for family and friends.

Edgar was preceded in death by his wife Barbara Ann Parks, father and mother James H. Sr. and Lilly B. Parks, brothers James H. Jr.; Harold Winfred, sisters Virgie, Sylvia, Lilly and son Ronald Parks.

He will be sadly missed and forever remembered by his loving daughter, Kelly Parks; granddaughter Rolanda McNeal Scott, grandson Rashad McNeal; great-granddaughters Essence "Simone", Isis and Lydia; great-great-grandsons, Jordan and Jayden; brother-in-law James Earl McNeal all of Toledo, sister-in-law Martha McFollins (Columbus), his cherished pet and companion Benji, nieces, nephews and friends.
