Parker William Christopher Rubin

Our precious Parker was called to his Heavenly home on November 7, 2026, at just 11 years old.

Parker always had a smile on his face. No matter what room he walked into, he lit it up. He had a special way of making anyone’s day a little brighter, and his smile was truly contagious.

The thing Parker loved most in this world was his family. He loved watching Paw Patrol with his mom, playing PlayStation with his dad, and playing Roblox with his sister, Alex. He loved building with his LEGOs, and he absolutely loved his chips! If you wanted to win Parker’s heart, all it took was a bag of chips.

Parker also had a very special love for trains. He loved listening to the sounds they made as they traveled along the tracks. His dad even built him a train station in their basement so Parker could always have his trains close by. When Parker grew up, he dreamed of becoming a train conductor.

One of Parker’s most memorable moments was getting to experience the Polar Express for his birthday last year. He was so excited that he shouted, “BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!” Seeing the pure joy on his face made everyone around him just as happy.

Parker had a way of bringing laughter and smiles wherever he went. Whether it was family, friends, or complete strangers, he had a gift for making people feel special. He truly never met a stranger. What people will remember most about Parker is that beautiful smile and the light he brought into every room he entered.

Parker is survived by: His loving parents, Lisa and Robert Rubin; his sister, Alex Rubin, and her boyfriend, Connor Grimes; maternal grandparents, Ann and George Shand; paternal grandmother, Mary Rubin; uncle and aunt, Kyle and Mandy Shand; uncle and aunt, Christopher Shand and Jana Cederburg; uncle, Cameron Shand; and great-uncle and aunt, Michael and Casey Rubin. He also leaves behind many loving cousins, extended family members, and friends who will miss him dearly.

Parker was preceded in death by: His brother, Aidan Killian; paternal grandfather, Joseph Rubin; and paternal uncle, Christopher Rubin.

Though Parker’s journey here on earth was far too short, the love he shared and the memories he created will live forever in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

As his train rides on to Heaven, may he be surrounded by endless sunshine, happiness, and love. His beautiful smile, his love for trains, and the joy he brought to everyone around him will never be forgotten.

Parker’s train may have reached its final station here on earth, but his memory and the love we have for him will travel with us forever.

A Celebration of Parker's Life will be held at 2PM Saturday, November 21, 2026 at Hayworth-Miller Kernersville Chapel.  The family will receive friends after the service at the funeral home.

Until we meet again, sweet Parker. Rest easy.
