It is with heavy hearts that we commemorate the life of one of Park Medical Academy’s brightest lights — Rory Spears.

Rory was an invaluable leader, exuding confidence as the 7th grade Class President and student ambassador. He represented Park with grandeur serving as a proud member of the Jazz Band — both at PMA and in the All-District Jazz Band. Rory possessed wisdom well beyond his years earning the beloved nickname “Paw Paw” from his peers, foreshadowing his indisputable discernment.

Rory was the epitome of Royalty- walking tall, talking tall, and standing tall as a Park Cub. He shifted the climate, exuding positivity and class in any room he had the privilege of entering. Kindness, generosity, and compassion was deeply engrained in his character which is why he was crowned Mr. 7th Grade on the PMA Homecoming Court after being elected by his peers. Needless to say, Rory was adored. He truly embodied what it means to be a Park Cub.

We are praying for strength, solace, and peace for his mother Mrs. Lakeitha Penn Turnipseed, his family, and all who were blessed to know Rory. We pray that we all continue to seek and trust God during this turbulent and tumultuous time of transition. May we be reminded to lift our eyes to God because all our help comes from the Lord. Rory’s light will forever shine bright in the halls of Park Medical Academy and in our hearts.

And a message for our Park scholars, Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal.(Isaiah 35:10)
Those who love us don’t go away. They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
Still loved… Still missed… Still very dear. 🥹

Rest in power, Rory. We love you forever, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
