Parker was raised by two supportive and loving adoptive parents.  His biological parents gave him up for adoption willingly after he was first born, knowing that they did not have the means to support him and that he would be raised by state programs for children of unfit parents if they did not enter him into the adoption system.  Trisha and Charlie Davis did not have extravagant means themselves, living in a lower-class (by Earth standards) neighborhood on the East side of Detroit.  Charlie was a construction worker and Trisha was a nurse at the time.  However limited their means, they were committed to giving Parker the best opportunities they could.  When Parker was 13, his father Charlie was involved in an accident at a construction site in East Lansing, Michigan.  He was killed in an equipment explosion.  Parker was devastated, and Trisha saw his grades spiral and her normally upbeat, intelligent boy start to gravitate towards the wrong crowd and act out.  Two years later, at age 15, he was involved in an armed robbery at a local diner that escalated to a manslaughter.  One of the boys in his company fired a shot with his phaser, not realizing the setting was on 'kill' instead of 'stun'.  The boys, ages 13 to 16, were tried as juveniles.  Their story was confirmed by the diner's security camera, which recorded the audio and video of the entire incident.  Parker was sentenced to two years in the J. Samuel Detroit Juvenile Detention Center, where he received counseling and finished his secondary school education with flying colors.  He had made a remarkable recovery.  While there, Parker found the religion of Christianity very enticing while in a Historic World Religions class and devoted his life to serving God.
