Harry Vyanter Parker was born to the late Elizabeth and Joseph Parker on September 2, 1940 in Penhook, VA. Harry was the youngest of 14 children, 11 of whom preceded him in death. He departed this life on Saturday, June 8, 2013. He was educated in the Rocky Mount Schools system. As a young man, Harry left the south for a life in New York, where he met and married Elaine Taylor in 1962. To that union was born two sons, Aaron and Gregory Parker. Then in 1967, he met and married Joyce Martin. With that marriage, he nurtured and loved their daughters, Bobbie Allen and Rhonda Washington. Harry was a truck driver for 48 years until he retired. He then decided to return to driving charter buses for Wilmac Tours until his illness. Harry, or Coyote as he's known by his family and friends, was full of life and loved by many. He accepted Christ at a early age but was baptized 15 years ago at Prayer House in Detroit, MI. His love for driving put him in Guiness Book of World Records for driving one million miles in eight years. Daron Kemp was born August 31, 1955 to Oscar and (the late) Margaret Kemp in Detroit, Michigan. He was the eldest of six children. He was educated in the Detroit Public Schools system and attended Henry Ford Community College. He was employed by Milford Fabricating Company for more than twenty years until his retirement. In 1982 he married his teenage sweetheart Barbara Keys and to this union three children were born, Brandon and twins Shirlene and Darlene. Daron accepted Christ in 1985 and joined Third New Hope Missionary Baptist Church and was baptized under the leadership of Pastor Edward L. Branch. He lived a happy life and enjoyed photography, building radio controlled cars, playing video games, outdoor grilling and spending time with his family. He especially enjoyed caring for his grandson Braylen until his health would no longer allow him to do so. Daron was a kind, caring and helpful man who helped anyone who asked him. After a six year illness, Daron was tired and the Lord called him home to rest where he was surrounded by his family on June 9, 2013 at 3:23 P.M. in Botsford Hospital. Although he is absent in the flesh he is present with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and in our hearts.
