Parker Joseph Schroll of Crawfordsville passed away Tuesday morning, May 4, 2021, at Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis, as a result of an auto accident on April 6. He was 19.
Parker was a hard worker, tenacious, creative, witty, thoughtful and loving. He was extremely loyal to those he loved and respected. He was very charismatic, which drew many people to him. Little children and babies were drawn to his spirit and Parker loved to take the time to spend with them. It has been amazing to discover the large number of lives he has impacted as a 19-year-old who lived life to the fullest. Parker was truly one of God’s bright lights in this world.
Born Feb. 15, 2002, at Crawfordsville, he was the son of Jeffrey Schroll and Lenna Newsom Schroll. He graduated in 2020 from Southmont High School and was using his hard-working spirit at Price Excavating. He attended First Baptist Church, where he liked to help in the nursery. He was almost finished building his own motorcycle and loved to ride. He also was proud to have been recently accepted into the Free Masons Alamo Lodge 144.
Surviving family includes: parents Jeff and Lenna Schroll; brother Clinton Schroll; paternal grandparents, Clem and Denise Schroll; maternal grandparents, Parker and Martha Newsom; and extended family and friends too numerous to list.
A memorial visitation will be 2-8 p.m. Friday, May 7 at First Baptist Church, 1905 Lebanon Road, Crawfordsville. The family asks that attendees wear a mask. Services will begin at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 8 at the church, led by Pastor Isaac Zull.
The family requests that donations in Parker’s memory be directed to Walnut Little Mountie Preschool, Attn: Eric Brewer, 3548 S. 775E, New Ross, IN 47968.
