Dr. Leonard Jay Parker (Lenny), born September 8, 1950, in Houston, Texas, went to be with the Lord on June 30, 2025 at the age of 74. He joins several beloved family members in Heaven: his mother Geraldine (Deanie) Beatrice Parker; father Leonard Jennings Parker; brother Dr. Glenn Alan Parker; Pamella's mother Mary Patterson and father Royston Patterson Jr. In accordance with his wishes, Lenny donated his body to the Willed Body Program at UT Medical Center to support medical science. His remains will later be returned to his family.
The youngest of three boys, Lenny was part of the Baby Boomer generation. After completing pre-med, he earned his doctorate degree from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine (now Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine) and became the first resident accepted to the Harris County Foot & Ankle Residency Program in Houston. After five years in private practice, Lenny pursued his love of the outdoors and founded Park Len Construction, LLC, installing processing units around the Lake Conroe area. He loved living on Pine Lake in Montgomery, TX. A man of many talents, he was skilled with all things mechanical and especially fond of antique bulldozers. He was also an animal lover, known for his bonds with dogs and local wildlife. Most of all, Lenny cherished his family.
He is survived by his brother, Dr. Robert G. Parker and Robert's wife Pamella Kaye Patterson Parker of Montgomery; nephew Sean Belanger Parker with wife Kayla Ann, grandnephew Aaron, and grandnieces Jo Ann and Mary Belle all of Louisiana; nephew Cameron Wayne Royston Parker with fiancée Lizz Kim of California; stepdaughter Brooke Ann Parker, friend and ex-wife Susan Ann Parker both of Montgomery; and Pamella's brother Royston Hoffman Patterson III of Spring. He is also remembered by many friends and family including Lonie and Jeannie Mercer, Donald and Cheryl Shine, Dr. Gale Parker Pate and her son Rich Edwards, Steve Cooper as well as those from the Bradley, Hayes, Tripp, Bland, Farrell, Ramsey, and Leslie families.
Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018, Lenny lived a fulfilling life before declining health in his last year from recent falls.
Upon the return of Lenny's cremains, an inurnment service will be held at Brookside Memorial Park Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest beside his brother Glenn in the Garden of Devotion. Family and friends will be notified of this future date. If desired, donations may be made to a charity of your choice in memory of Dr. Leonard J. Parker.
