Cottonwood – Parker Viaene, age 20, of Cottonwood, died on Saturday, April 10, 2021, as the result of an ATV accident near Cottonwood.

Parker Ryan Viaene was a blessing and miracle from the very beginning on April 9, 2001 to his loving parents, Ryan and Tara (Claude) Viaene at the Marshall hospital. They brought him home to the family farm where his love for life, farming and nature began to grow. As a toddler, Parker felt clothing was optional and would beg his Dad to “chase me” around the table in his underwear. This same toddler would melt his Mom’s heart daily with his smile and charm.
