Don, my baby brother you will be missed so very much. You had a kind heart and easy smile.  You were a true southern gentleman in every way. You always took care of the ones you loved.  You were John Wayne to most of us, bigger than life and deeply loved.

"no retreat or surrender", that's a True texas Man.
Mr Parish was just that...and a true gentleman...
God Bless your family and friends during this time of there lives.

Love and prayers to the family. We were blessed to know Donald.

I never got to meet Donald, but have heard a lot of great things about him from Arnold.  We are praying for you Arnold and the whole family.  May you be filled with peace knowing that he is no longer hurting.  Love you

To a sweet and kind man who was always smiling when people were around  RIP Donald Parish

This very sweet man will forever be missed by so many.  He was always a pleasure to be around.  As a little girl I have wonderful memories of him and some of the brothers coming over after hunting with daddy.  I loved listening to all the tall tales they would have.  There was never a time when I saw him that he didn't make me feel special and would always put a big smile on my face.  Donald was such a kind and loving man that was greatly loved.  I can only imagine the glorious reunion when he knees at Jesus feet and then gathers with his precious wife, Dina and all of his loved ones.  I know he and daddy will also have a lot to catch up on.  I love you Donald ~ you are family and will always be.  We are praying for your beautiful family as they lean on God to carry them through.

We're praying for lots of strong memories to comfort all the Parish family, love, Jerry&Patti Baird

Love n miss you n your stories! Such a kind and loving man who I adored greatly! Gone but never forgotten in our hearts!

You will always be in my heart all the stories and good times we had hunting together have made my life better love you mr. Parish

Don you are my friend for 50 years I will see you in heaven

God Bless each of you.  We are praying for strength and peace for each of you.

The earth lost a great man. He will be missed by anyone that ever met him.   I will miss his voice and all the stories he told. He was and will always be in our hearts and minds. Donald was a big part of our family, we all loved him dearly.

To the best dad ever, love and miss you dad.

Always enjoyed my visits with Mr. Parish.(even if it was because Donna and i had been up to no good) lol....you will be missed....
