Local obituary: Parker Robles, Bedford 13-year-old

Parker Andrés Robles, 13, of Bedford, Massachusetts, passed tragically on Friday, November 21, 2025, when his electric bicycle collided with an oncoming car. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on October 2, 2012, to Hannah Elizabeth Chagnon and Nicolas Andrés Robles, both natives of Bedford, Massachusetts. Parker attended Bedford public schools and was a member of the upcoming 2027 class at John Glenn Middle School. He planned to apply to Shawsheen Technical Institute.

Above all, Parker was kindhearted and generous of spirit. He brightened even the darkest days with his sense of humor, handsome face, and winning smile. Parker put others over himself without hesitation, and always had a helping hand and kind words for anyone in distress. He made friends everywhere he went, and treasured those relationships more than anything else in the world. Parker ran before he walked, and effortlessly mastered any physical pursuit he tried. Of those, his greatest passion was dirt biking. He waited eagerly every year for dirt biking season, when his family stayed at the dirt bike track nearly every weekend in their camper. They also traveled once a year to Daytona, Florida, to watch dirt bike racing, and Parker dreamed of one day riding professionally. Parker loved to spend time with his devoted brother, his many friends, his beloved family, and his favorite dog Buddy.

He is survived by his parents, Nicholas Robles and Hannah Chagnon; his brother, Miles James Robles; his grandparents Terence and Jill Devlin (née Donovan), and Alphonse and Joyce Robles (née Donovan), all of Bedford, Massachusetts; and his grandfather Arthur Chagnon of Oxford, Maine; uncles Danilo Robles and his wife Caitlin of Melrose, Massachusetts, and Marcus Robles and his husband Robert of Raymond, New Hampshire; and aunts Chelsea Chagnon of Charlotte, North Carolina, Lauren Devlin of Bedford, Massachusetts, and Bianca Boudreau née Robles and her husband Evan of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, as well as six cherished cousins and many adoring extended family members.  All are devastated by this unexpected loss.

Visiting hours will be held at the Bedford Funeral Home, 167 The Great Road, Bedford, MA, on Sunday, November 30, from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. Graveside service will be held at Shawsheen Cemetery, Bedford, MA, on Wednesday, December 3, at 2:00 p.m.
