JULIAN KEITH PARKS

Julian Keith (Buck) Parks, 86, passed away after a lengthy illness on August 19, 
2014, at his home in Farmerville surrounded by his loved ones. He was born June 
8, 1928, to the union of Jule and Verda Hay Parks, and was a lifelong resident 
of Union Parish. Although he was employed for many years in the insurance and 
banking industry, his true passion was farming. He was happiest spending time on 
the Parks Farm acreage. After retirement, "Uncle Buck" was a beloved employee at 
the dental offices of Dr. Tommy Ward, Dr. Vance Costello and Dr. Daniel Raymond. 
He made a profession of Christian faith at Paron Baptist Church at a young age 
and faithfully attended the Auditorium Sunday School Class at First Baptist 
Church until his health prevented it. He was preceded in death by his beloved 
wife of fifty- one years, Loyce Wilson Parks and son-in-law Randy Reid. He is 
survived by daughters Dr. Judith Levy and husband Robert of Baton Rouge, Belinda 
Reid of Downsville, Melanie Wester and husband Richard of Asheville, N.C.; 
grandchildren Wesley McMurrian of Seattle, WA, Derek Reid of Monroe, Dr. Claire 
Kappa & husband Dr. David Kappa of Durham, N.C., Blake Wester and Grace Wester 
of Asheville, N.C.; stepgrandchildren Brian Levy of New Orleans and Dr. Robin 
Levy of Baton Rouge; and great grandson William Parks Kappa and step great 
grandchildren Ben, Caro, and Cecilia Bookman. He is also survived by his "son," 
nephew Dr. Tommy Ward and wife Donna; sister Kathleen Ward and brother Barnes 
Parks and a host of nieces and nephews. Special thanks to his beautiful daughter 
Belinda Reid for her loving care over the last few years.
