Join us in celebrating L.D.—please share your stories and photos, and help spread the word about this page!
Parton, L.D. (Desheaun) age 77, left us and this earthly world behind for his heavenly home on July 22, 2019. Our hearts are heavy but we know he is free now from all pain and confusion.
After retiring in 2003 he went back to Y-12 and worked as a security escort for a number of years.
Desheaun was preceded in death by his father, Ford Parton and his mother, Loretta Strand Parton Hawkins, as well as his former wife and mother of his children, Linda Parton. He is survived by his children, Christina Parton, Robert Parton, Sheaun Michael (Sherry) Parton, April Parton Fritts; brother, Roger Parton and wife of almost 36 years, Judy; step-son and care-giver, Jimmy Moore, step-children, Pete, Steve and Lisa; 7 grandchildren; 6 step-grandchildren; several great-grandchildren and one special step-grandson, Thomas Bailey.
In his younger days he enjoyed hunting, fishing as well as bowling with several perfect 300 scores to his credit. Another favorite was vacationing in Destin, Florida with his wife, Judy.
L.D. was a Christian, a strong believer in God, Jesus and Heaven. He loved the movie, "Heaven Is for Real".
Receiving of Friends will be on Friday, August 2, 2019 from 5:00-7:00pm at Berry Highland Memorial, 5315 Kingston Pike, Knoxville with a Celebration of Life Service to follow. Music will be provided by Mallie White. Family and friends will gather for a 3:00pm Final Farewell Service at Highland Memorial Cemetery on Saturday, August 3, 2019.
