Herbert "Herbie" Parks

Herbert Rich Halley Parks, 38, of Bellingham, WA, passed away on May 23, 2025 in a tragic accident doing what he loved.

Herbie was born on December 19, 1986 to Robert and Caroline Parks in Uturoa, Raiatea. After Herbie graduated from Sehome High School, he started his own business, ThreeSixtyLandscape, where he went on to use his creativity to make ideas come to life in people’s yards.

He also started a family, bringing two wonderful children into the world, Heileana and Micah. His favorite activities involved anything he could do with his kids. Hiking, fishing, jet skiing, camping, and riding all-terrain vehicles were a few of his most favorite activities. He wanted other children to have better goals for the future and the planet, and with the help of his children, he started HikeNFish. This was a program where he would take kids out and show them how to be one with nature, including cleaning up garbage as they hiked through the woods, fishing, camping, and learning the essentials for being out in the woods.

He was very well known by many people around the world. His most well-known feature was his kindness and willingness to help anyone who needed it, no matter the cost or the strength required. There was not one person who met him who didn’t absolutely love him by the end of their conversations. He was everyone’s best friend, and he left behind so many hearts that he touched deeply. He was also known for having many ideas, and many projects. He had so much enthusiasm and love for the world. He left behind very big shoes to fill and will be deeply missed by so many.

Herbie is survived by his parents Robert and Caroline Parks, siblings Tatiana VanderVelde, Grace Parks, Georges Parks, Robert Parks Jr., and Carolyn Parks, and children Heileana and Micah Parks.

Services will be held at the family property at 3:00 PM on Saturday, June 7, 2025.
