He was employed as an Information Systems Manager at Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company where he had worked for 26 years.
Ross was a devoted and loving husband to his wife Missy and to his children Kyle, McKenna, Collin, and Conner. During Ross’ 15 years of leadership with Boy Scouts of America, he has helped develop more than 33 Eagle Scouts, including his son Kyle Parker. Ross was guiding Collin and Conner to follow in those footsteps.
