In Loving Memory of Gregg Donald Parker-

Gregg Donald Parker, age 65, of Appleton, WI, passed away peacefully on February 14, 2025, surrounded by family. He was born on December 6, 1959, in Appleton, WI, to the late Donald and Elaine (Sievert) Parker. 

Gregg married his lifelong partner, Rebecca Lotts, on January 10, 1990. Together, they built a beautiful life and were blessed with two children, Sara and Eric Parker. Gregg is survived by his lifelong partner, Rebecca Parker, his beloved daughter, Sara (Phelan), and his cherished grandson, Mitchel. 

He was preceded in death by his son, Eric Parker; his brother, Brett Parker; and his parents, Don and Elaine Parker. 

Gregg dedicated much of his career to his work as a machinist for General Electric before following his entrepreneurial spirit and founding Pinnacle Machine of Appleton. Outside of work, he was an avid outdoorsman who found joy in boating, fishing, hunting, and camping. He loved nature and the peace it provided. 

Beyond his skills and passions, Gregg was known for his sharp wit, sarcasm, and an endless supply of humor. Whether delivering a perfectly timed one-liner or playfully teasing those he loved, he had a way of making people laugh even in the toughest moments. His quick humor and mischievous grin were his trademarks, bringing joy to all who knew him. 

A celebration of life will take place on Thursday March 20, 2025, from 4:00pm until 8:00pm at the Timber Lounge, 100 S Birch Street, Kimberly. Please join us to share stories and truly celebrate Gregg in a manner that reflects him and who he was to us.

His family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of ThedaCare at Home Hospice for their compassionate care. 

Gregg will be remembered for his kind heart, strong work ethic, and unwavering love for family, the outdoors, and a good joke. He will be deeply missed but forever cherished in the laughter and memories he leaves behind.
