McKinney Parks, Houston, TX—The Parks family is mourning the unexpected loss of McKinney Parks, who passed away on Thursday, September 26, 2024, after a sudden battle with gastric cancer. McKinney had recently celebrated his 66th birthday on September 9th, surrounded by his loved ones, unaware that his time with them would be so short. His daughter, Kennedie Parks, has initiated a fundraiser to help cover the burial costs that the family is struggling to meet.
McKinney’s illness came as a shock to his family, as they had only recently learned that the cancer had spread rapidly. Despite their best efforts to care for him at home, his health declined quickly. He spent two weeks in the hospital and two more weeks in a rehab facility before being brought home to be cared for by his wife and daughters.
Kennedie shared the heartbreak of her father’s passing and her desire for one more conversation, kiss, or hug. The family, although prepared for some aspects of his passing, was not ready for the financial burden of securing a cemetery plot and managing the labor costs associated with laying him to rest.
The funeral expenses have been covered by insurance, but the cost of the burial plot has placed an unexpected strain on the family’s finances. Kennedie is reaching out for support through a GoFundMe campaign, asking for donations to help her father rest peacefully.
The family is planning the funeral for October 12th and is hoping to gather the necessary funds by then. Kennedie expressed her deep gratitude for any support during this difficult time, as she works to ensure her father is laid to rest with the dignity he deserves.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Parks family as they navigate this heartbreaking loss. May McKinney rest in peace, and may his family find strength and comfort in the days ahead.
