Their Story
Remembering Joshua Parker.
Lieutenant Colonel Joshua "Clobber" Parker was born April 26, 1984, in South Bend, Indiana, and made his home in Enid, Oklahoma. A 2006 graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Aviation Technology, he answered a lifelong love of flight by serving as a United States Air Force pilot, flying the B-1 bomber and later, as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve, passing his skill to the next generation as a T-6 instructor pilot under the call sign "Clobber." A devoted husband to Teara and father to Cora and Luke, Josh was a drummer in his church worship bands, a man of deep and quiet faith, and a tireless adventurer who loved carrying his family to new corners of the world.
He lived by a charge his loved ones now keep in his memory: live life to the full, and clobber the world.
