Who We Are
We are men, women and children in your community dedicated to helping families who have lost a man, either suddenly or through a prolonged illness. We are neighbors and friends, organized as a non-profit, so that we’re ready to help when needed.
Besides the swarm of people volunteering we have a Board of Directors and Advisory Council that is made up of 8 men and women. These men and women oversee the ministry, volunteers and finances to ensure we are reaching the people in need.

David Doyle
David currently serves the Missing Man Ministry (Board of Directors) in the role of President. David has held this role since January of 2019. He is able to bring his skills from the business world, into the world of non-profits, including Missing Man Ministry.
David also serves on the board of Trivalley Conservancy (TVC), a non-profit based in Livermore, dedicated to protecting open space. https://trivalleyconservancy.org/ David and Anita currently live in San Ramon, after living in the Pleasanton/Livermore area for 15 years. Missing Man Ministry is not just a passion for David and Anita; it’s personal. David’s father passed away when David was 15 years old; Anita’s father passed away when Anita was only 11 years old. Although they would not wish these tragedies on anyone, they find great joy and comfort in being able to help the mission and clients of Missing Man Ministry. Their son, Brandon, is attending college at U.C. Santa Barbara, majoring in Biomed. Their daughter, Shayna, is in her fourth year of Vet School at U.C. Davis. |

Ray Parkinson
Ray currently serves the Missing Man Ministry (Board of Directors) in the role of Secretary, and has been doing so since it's founding. He keeps us on track with our clients/cases, meeting minutes, overall compliance, etc. Ray is a master of organization and brings those skills to the table with the Board, Advisory Council and Clients.
Ray’s kids are all responsible adults and living abroad, so with work commitments and personal commitments, Ray is one of those committed worldwide travelers; slightly less during the Covid 19 pandemic. Ray loves serving in various roles at Cornerstone Fellowship Livermore. He also dabbles in gardening and handyman projects around the house; when he’s there. |

Jiwon has graciously offered to be our Treasurer (Board of Directors) and does a fantastic job of keeping our finances in order.
Jiwon lives with his family in Dublin, CA and is quite a traveler of late. |
