Andrew Jackson Parks, Jr.

Andrew Jackson Parks, Jr., 74, formerly of Hampton, VA, went to be with his Lord and Savior on March 31, 2022, following his battle with cancer.

Andy had a strong love of three things: Jesus Christ, his family and his dog Linus. He was always cracking jokes and wanted to make people smile. He would go out of his way to help anyone and had a servant's heart. He had a passion for international mission trips and loved spreading the word of Jesus Christ. He loved playing golf and felt proud of the time he served in Vietnam. No matter how sick he was, he would tell anyone who listened how blessed he was and how the Lord always provided. He was surrounded by family and those he loved the most in his final days.

Andy was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Ona Parks, and brother, Jamie Parks. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Carol; three daughters, Amanda Wetherington (Jimmy), Nicole Marshall (Matt) and Mindy Biron (Luke); two sisters, Mary Patterson and Jeanie King (Dean); two brothers, Tony Parks (Joy); Michael Newman (Kim); ten grandchildren; his “best friend” Linus; as well as countless friends and loved ones.

A celebration of Andy’s life will take place Tuesday April 5 at 10am at Crosswalk Church, 7575 Richmond Rd., Williamsburg, VA 23188. A private interment will take place at a later date in Albert G. Horton Jr. Memorial Veterans Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Andy’s passion - the Crosswalk Missions Projects, 7575 Richmond Rd., Williamsburg, VA 23188.
