Parker Lavier Curtis Mann, of Newport News, Virginia, stepped beyond the dunes and into the endless horizon at the age of 22 on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Born to Ryan and Kimberly Mann on January 10, 2004, Parker grew up in Newport News and graduated from Woodside High School. He devoted his budding career to public service, specializing in athletic maintenance with the City of Newport News Department of Parks and Recreation. Parker excelled in many things, most notably at being a loving son, brother, uncle, cousin, grandson, nephew and friend.
Whether gaming with his buddies, golfing, bowling, playing volleyball, enjoying the Outer Banks or fishing with his Papaw, he embraced the spirit of friendly competition and was always ready for a fun and lively time.
Parker is survived by his parents, Ryan and Kimberly Mann; brother, Lucas Brown (fiancée Jenna McKee); sister, Natalie Mann; nephews, Caedyn and Roman; niece, Emberlynn; grandparents, Ann Cahill, Pamela White, John Mann, and Tim Rumfeldt; dear friends, Carter Nickerson and Justin Weaver; girlfriend, Madison Huber; along with several beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and many other friends.
A memorial will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 20, at Peninsula Funeral Home in Newport News. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Virginia Chapter or Velocity Church Yorktown.

We were so very sorry to hear of parkers passing. I had only met him a few times while visiting Madi, but he made a lasting impression and made Madi happy. I wish you peace during this difficult time,with prayers for your family.
Ryan, Kim, and family there are no words. I am so sorry. Having known you both for so many years, my heart hurts for you and your entire family. Reading about Parker and seeing how deeply he was loved by his family and friends says so much about the young man he was. I love you both, and I’m here for you now and in the days ahead.
So sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers.
