A New Iberia icon, Tony Billy Parker aka "Cookie," died late Saturday night in New Iberia after he was involved in an accident. Mr. Parker was on his bicycle Saturday night when he was hit on St. Peter street and died on the scene as a result of his injuries.

Now you can help lay this wonderful man to rest by donating to his burial expenses. A GoFundMe account has been set up in his memory and their goal is to collect $7,500. We know Acadiana always comes thru during times like this, and we want to surpass the goal that was set by his friends

After reading many Facebook posts following the death of Mr. Parker, it seems like "Cookie" was loved by many and will be missed by an entire community. All of us here at HOT 107.9 would like to extend our prayers & thoughts to his family and friends during this trying time.
