Charles Howard Parrish

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Charles Howard Parrish, on September 23, 2025, at the age of 84. Charles was born on October 25, 1940, in Grande Prairie, Alberta, to Emory and Audrey Parrish. He lived a full and meaningful life surrounded by family, laughter, and love.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Sharon Parrish, his daughter Sherrie Parrish, and his son Matt Parrish. Charles was predeceased by his parents, Emory and Audrey, and his son, Melvin Parrish, who he now joins in peace. Charles leaves behind many who loved his dearly – his brothers and sisters, grandchildren and great- grandchildren, each one holding special memories of his gentle nature, sense of humor, and the love he always showed his family.

A Celebration of Life will be held on October 25, 2025, at 1:00PM at Pineview Hall. This date also marks what would have been Charles’s 85th birthday, a fitting day to gather and honor the wonderful life he lived. Charles will be remembered for his kindness, his strength, and the deep love he carried for those around him. His stories, laughter, and steady presence will be missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
