1974 - 2025
Born in Framingham, Stephen was born in Framingham MA, the son of Stephen F. Parker of Milford MA and the late Deborah A. (Dabrowski) Parker. He grew up in Milford and attended Milford public schools, graduating from Milford High School, Class of 1992. He continued his education at the University of Hartford, receiving his bachelor’s degree… in 1996.
Stephen built a varied career rooted in hospitality, beginning as the manager of the Carrabba’s Restaurant located in San Antonio TX and… in Peabody MA. He went on to spend years in the food and beverage field before transitioning to corporate work. Most recently, he served as a regional manager at ECOLAB… working in their global sustainability for New England, retiring this past summer.
Stephen had a big personality and a wide range of interests. He was an avid sports fan of all the New England professional sports teams and loved live music, especially country. Summers on Cape Cod and spending time at the beach brought him joy, but nothing meant more to him than attending the sporting events of his two children and his niece & nephew.

Parker-Hunt and her husband Matthew Hunt of Littleton MA; his nephew: Thaddeus “Tedi” Hunt…; his niece: Grace Hunt…; his aunt: Catherine “Kitty” Dabrowski and her partner Daniel Altieri of Salem MA; and his partner: Heather Herring of Natick MA and her two children: Brenna Herring & Connor Herring.
