MACONNELL "MAC" JAMES PARKMAN
March 10, 2003 September 25, 2020
Maconnell "Mac" James Parkman was born on March 10, 2003 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
He was an unbelievable child and brightened the day for all that knew him right up until his untimely passing. A football player, wrestler, Christian and loving person, he was loved and respected by all that knew him.
Since his youth, Mac had stories that not even many grown people can tell. He has traveled to every continent in the world except Antarctica and spent time with his family in the U.A.E., Australia, South America, Egypt, Finland and more.
He was a proud contributor to CSCS Football and Wrestling Teams where he was one of the wrestling team's captains as a junior in 2019. His unbelievable kind and loving spirit combined with his ability to bring joy to any and all that were around him will be treasured by his family, friends and peers. He truly represented the Lord in all aspects of his life and leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness and a personality and sense of humor that will never be matched. He was loved and adored by all.
Mac was preceded in death by his grandparents.
He is survived by his parents, Perri and Bruce Parkman; sisters, Alison and Andrea Haddad; uncle, Tom (Denise) McConnell; aunts, Cheri Cavanaugh, Suzanne (Daniel) Lines, Donna (Mark) Baldus; and cousins, Lauren, Kimberly, James, Jonathan, Sean, Zachary, Sage, Sawyer, Baylor and Tyler.

Having lost my son very suddenly at age twenty six, I share your grief. You are doing good things with your foundation, which should give you comfort. I hope to see you soon. Love, Auntie Debbie.

I was moved by Mac's Obituary in the Woodland Park Courier. I wanted you to know that we will be remembering your family during this life changing time. You don't know us and we did not have the gift of knowing your son personally, but we have walked a similar path. One of our sons went HOME suddenly at 17 as well. His walk and short life was faith-filled as well. We understand some of what you are going through and how much Mac will be missed by you, his extended family and his friends. Life for you all is forever changed. He will always be remembered; first with pain and loss but gradually he will be remembered more with warmth and gratitude. He will always be in your hearts and memory, and always truly missed. We will be praying for you all and think of you often, especially on Macs birthday because that is our sons birthday as well. If you ever want to talk to someone, share things about Mac or just hear from someone else who is living a changed life as well, don't hesitate to private message me. Speak and remember Mac with each other often, treasure all that others share with you about Mac, and know your souls are forever connected and your love and faith will cover and heal. We hold you all before the LORD and place you In His healing and compassionate hands---

We are so deeply sad that Mac is no longer with us. We will remember his sweet smile and quiet presence, and the fun times we had when we were all together. We are very sorry for this huge, inconceivable loss and the pain that is being experienced by so many of us because of his absence, but especially for his immediate family. We love you all very much.

Mac was an extraordinary young man and will be forever missed by me and my family. Jackson is devastated and will always remember Mac as a good friend. He was a good friend and a sweet and loving boy. Our deepest condolences to Bruce, Perri and the rest of Mac’s family.
