PARKER MUHLEMAN

THE JAMES C. “JIMMY” MONTECALVO and LUKE BLANOCK MEMORIAL COURAGE AWARD RECIPIENTS

(Posthumous)

Washington High School

In his short life, Parker battled an incurable congenital heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Despite enduring multiple surgeries at a young age for the condition, which prevented blood from flowing normally through his heart, Parker remained upbeat, always giving 100-percent on the baseball diamond, golf course and in the classroom. He was an all-star selection in the Washington Youth Baseball League and part of the Southwest Pennsylvania Junior Golf Tour. Parker courageously told his story and inspired many, including the Washington and Jefferson College baseball team, which made him an honorary member in 2019. The son of Stephanie and Dave Muhleman, Parker passed away on May 10, 2021.
