For Anthony Alan Parks

I made this as a tribute for my former classmate and fellow band geek Anthony Parks. Anthony was robbed and murdered on July 31, 2008 in Del City, OK. To my knowledge, Anthony was planning on going back to UCO and finish his schooling. Like me, he enjoyed playing music on his clarinet and sax, especially jazz.
"You are gone, but in our hearts and minds, you will never be forgotten. Semper Fi y vaya con Dios, Hermano."
Note: Semper Fideles (Always Faithful) Even though he wasn't a marine, I am one and felt compelled to say it for a former "comrade," even if we're only former classmates.

Please rate and if you can say something, then comment as well. Thank you.

The song is "Never Say Goodbye" by Hayley Westenra from her "Pure" album.

I remember the clarinet and sax ensembles we did together at Kerr and Del City, the painful hip toss I received at 0:25 with you as Batman and me the ninja, jazz band, and any childish wrestling we all did. The yearbook pictures look much different now that they do. It's a shame I couldn't help you. As a marine, I feel like I could have if only I had had a 6th sense to warn me. I wish I never had to say goodbye.

Anthony it has been just over a year since you were taken from us. I miss you more than I can put words to say how I feel about your passing. I am still hurting deeply inside emotionally.

A heads up to the folks that would follow how things are progressing as far as the legal system goes. A trial date has been set for February 22, 2010. Please attend if you can.

We miss you sport and not a day has gone by that you were not in our thoughts

This video Breaks my heart. I didnt really know Anthony, but I do remember seeing him, around school, at the football games, and it kills me to think that someone took him from this world. To all his family and close friends, please know that Anthony made an impact in my life, and in many, many, more and he will be missed.

This video is a very good depiction of Anthony as I knew him. I wish I would have known him better. Anthony and my fiance Ge'Mario were good friends and I know Ge'Mario is still going through a lot of grief. Anthony was a good man and he will be missed by many...
