Friends and family may visit from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday, January 24, 2025, at Leonard Funeral Home & Crematory, 2595 Rockdale Road. A Funeral Service will begin at 6:00 p.m. with Rev. Dianne Grace officiating. Burial will be at later date at Mount Calvary Cemetery in Dubuque, Iowa.
Bill was born on March 6, 1952, in Iowa, son of William R. and Joyce J. (Allen) Parker I. He married Brenda Lindecker on July 12, 1986, at the Dubuque Arboretum. He worked for the Chicago Central Pacific Railroad.
He loved the river, tinkering on Harley-Davidsons, and riding them just as much. If you ever needed to find Dad, you knew exactly where to look—he’d be in the garage!
Bill is survived by children Tressa (Dennis) Pergande, William “Will” Parker III, Chad (Kim Sutter) Parker, and Calee (Jason) Robey, grandchildren Bryce (Sadie), Madalyn, Madalynn, Lizzy, Mya, Evelyn, Dallas, Olivia, and Skyler, great grandchildren Ryder, Colt, Wylder, and Azariah, siblings Tammy Parker, Larry (Debbie) Parker, Kristine Beckman, and Ronald Parker, as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife Brenda, granddaughter Hailey Tracy, his parents William and Joyce, and his mother-in-law Betty Lindecker.
In lieu of flowers, a William R. Parker II Memorial Fund has been established.
