Rebecca “Becca” Parker, was born on September 26, 2000 in Georgetown, Texas. From that moment, she filled Travis and Brandy’s hearts with so much love and joy. After moving to Houston from East Texas with her parents and little brother, Connor, Becca attended Robison Elementary and then Spillane Middle School. She became very active in the orchestra, playing the violin, and she developed a love for drawing and painting in her art classes. She always loved art which started as a hobby but soon became a passion and talent that formed a huge part of her life.
During this time, doctors soon determined that Becca had Left Ventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy. She was immediately put on medication in hopes that her condition could be treated with medicine alone. After Becca had 2 cardiac arrests, the team of doctors decided medication was not sufficient, and she was placed on the Heart Transplant list in November of 2015. While waiting for her new heart, Becca joined Shield Christian Co-op, a homeschool group where she formed so many lasting friendships, not just with her peers, or younger kids, but with so many incredible teachers. She loved going to classes and teen events. The relationships that grew this past year filled her life with so much happiness. Travis and Brandy will always be grateful for everyone who is part of the Shield family. After six long months, on June 15, 2016, she received the life-saving call with a donor heart!!! We praise God every day for the gift she was given with her transplant.
After her transplant, the past 9 and a half months have been a gift from God. Becca got to do so many things that she previously was unable to do. She went on the vacation she always dreamed of to Disney World (which she loved so much), on a Disney Cruise, and to Universal Studios. While at Disney World, she met her favorite Disney Princess, Belle, for dinner, rode every roller-coaster she wanted, and ran a 5k race with her dad, mom and brother. Becca went to the homecoming dance with her boyfriend, Cameron Blanco, and danced without any restrictions. She even had the energy to stay up late and talk to and hang out with friends afterwards. Becca tried-out and was selected for Tomball Christian Warriors Cheerleading squad for the 2017 Football season. She was able to do all the things she wanted to but could not do previously: run, jump, swim, ride roller-coasters, travel and just live life to the fullest!
We all hope for a love to come into our lives that will forever change us. A love that is completely selfless, a love that will make others stop to watch. If you knew Becca, you knew Cameron. Becca wasn’t complete without Cameron. So many people dismissed the sincerity of the commitment these two had for each other, but if you ever saw how they looked at each other, there was no doubting the purity of their love. Cameron’s commitment to Becca never wavered; he never questioned it. No matter what was going on, Cameron stood by her and would stay with her at the hospital as much as possible. He never saw a sick girl, he only saw a beautiful creation. He saw Becca the way Christ saw her, so much so that on the last day she was with us, Cameron sat by her hospital bed, and he asked her the question he always knew he would ask. Even though she couldn’t answer, we know what her answer would have been. Travis and Brandy are so thankful that Becca experienced loved in this way, and Cameron’s parents, Javier and Taunya Blanco, are so thankful that Becca loved Cameron the same way in return.
Becca loved so big and completely, everyone who met her was fully affected by her smile and her love for others. Becca wasn’t just a sweet girl, she was the type of girl you wanted to be around, not because she was cool or popular, but because she was so confident in who she was and who she was in Christ. She had natural beauty. Her legacy is love, and we will honor her by loving like Christ.
On March 9, 2017, Becca’s body started to reject her donor heart. She went to look upon the face of Jesus on Thursday, April 6, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. Though her life on this earth is now complete, her story and love will always remain and grow strong in all whom she touched.
Becca is survived by dad and mom, Travis and Brandy Parker; brother, Connor; great-grandmothers, Flo Harris and Myrna Jones; grandparents, Clyde & Laura Parker and Scooter & Ann Cain; aunts and uncles, Aaron & Michelle Beall, John & Camille Smith, Perry & Stephanie McGee, Scott Cain, Brandon Galloway, Chris Galloway, and 8 cousins and extended family that were very near and dear to her heart.
Travis and Brandy would like to thank all the doctors, nurses and staff at Texas Children’s Hospital, Spillane Middle School, and Shield Christian Co-op for their incredible love, care and service that afforded the precious additional days they were allowed to spend with Becca.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
