William "Parker" Robison

With heavy hearts, we share that William “Parker” Robison passed away unexpectedly on April 5, 2026. He was born on February 4, 2009 in Columbus, GA, spent most of his childhood in Hope Mills, NC, and was a junior and proud member of the Marching Bobcats at Battlefield High School in Haymarket, VA.

Parker was a thoughtful son, sibling, and friend who showed his love through quirky gifts and selfless acts; whether it was a silly goose exchange, a handmade card for any occasion, a much-needed tray of pizza rolls, or doing a chore he really didn’t want to just because he knew someone else needed his help. Maybe most indicative of his loving nature was his willingness to ‘give’ gifts in the form of redeemable coupons for hugs, extra show binging, and really just anything that would be quality time.

He cared for all living things and always aimed to make people happy. He was quick to share a witty if not questionable social media clip, loved to giggle at corny jokes, was annoyingly good at any video game almost immediately, and was known to smuggle a cat or two under a blanket for an entire movie. While his hairstyles changed frequently, his love of family and friends was constant. He cherished time with them all on game nights and band adventures and loved to entertain them with absolutely ridiculous ‘would you rather…’ questions.

Parker is survived by his father Richard David Robison III, mother Alicia Russo, stepmother Heather Robison, stepfather William Russo; siblings Anna Robison, Tyler Robison, Avalyn Cheshire, Weston Russo, and Oliver Robison; grandparents Richard David (Jr) and Toni Robison and Donald and Lyn Wester; and many, many loved aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members.

A private family remembrance will take place at 2 pm before a memorial service at 3 pm on April 10, 2026 at LaFayette Funeral Home. A live stream viewing of the memorial service will be available at www.lafayettefh.com.
