Obituary
PARKINS, Hank James…
It is with deep sadness and love that the family of Hank James Parkins announce his sudden passing at the age of 22 in London, Ontario.
He will be fondly remembered by his Parents, Joel Parkins and Tess de Haan. His siblings, Ben, Luke, Levi, and Dave. Step-siblings Morgan, Jesse, and Heather. Step-parents Bryan Mc Donald and Erin Foster. Devoted grandson of Bonnie Parkins and Ena de Haan.
Predeceased by: Grandfathers Lippe de Haan and Bill Parkins, Uncle Benjamin Parkins, Sister Ruby Jean Parkins.
Will be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and co-workers.
Hank was compelled to create – drawing, painting, clay sculpture, embroidery, knitting. He was also becoming a proficient cook, guitar player, songwriter, and vocalist. He excelled at everything he tried, and his hobbies allowed him to cross paths with many people, with whom he invariably formed a genuine connection. He made friends easily, with a warm demeanour, strong sense of empathy, and a razor-sharp wit.
He would have started the nursing program at Fanshawe College in September. His compassionate, gentle, and hardworking nature would have made him an excellent caregiver.
He is deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him.
All are welcome for visitation on Thursday, June 4, 2026 from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 pm at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. Cremation to follow.
The family will Celebrate Hank’s Life with a private service.

So sorry for your loss.
To all those who mourn the loss of Hank, we send our condolences. It is our prayer that God will provide peace and strength in these very difficult days. From your uncle Harold and aunt Betty.
I am so very sorry for your loss of Hank.
Hank was friends with my son Jack. When I asked Jack to tell me about Hank, among other things he said, “He always went out of his way to talk to you if you were sitting alone at an event and he was super funny!” My condolences to the whole family. My heart breaks for you with this tragic loss. He sounded like an amazing person. I pray he is now at peace. Rest easy young man.
When Hank was around did we not always feel like the sun was on our faces and the wind was at our backs? His cheerful friendliness, humour, and gentle soul will remain in our hearts as an Erie Ave kid forever, from one long time Erie kid to another. In peace, Hamoody
My deepest condolences to the family. The loss of someone so young is as unimaginable as it is unbearable. Please hold each other as tight as you hold Hank in your hearts, and support each other during this difficult time.
Tess. I am so very sorry for your loss. Unimaginable.
Tess, sending you and your family our deepest condolences. With love from your Saunders Family
