Steven T. Parish
March 2, 1946 - March 3, 2023
BOISE, ID - Steven (Steve) Parish passed away on March 3, 2023, in Boise, Idaho after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Steve came to Elko in 1968 and soon after married Gayle Caple (Parish). Steve was a local CPA for many years and enjoyed following his boys around to sporting events, golfing, gardening and woodworking. In 2019 after Gayle's passing Steve moved to Boise, and was able to reconnect with old friends, make some new friends, and spend more time with family.
Steve is survived by his sons: Michael and Matthew, daughters-in-law: Julie and Tania and his grandsons: Daniel, Cooper, Luke and Carter.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. The service will be held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Elko, 777 Sage Street.
In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Parkinson's foundation, parkinsons.org.

I met Steve in 1968 when he tried to teach me accounting 101. He failed miserably at that, but we remained friends for the rest of his life. Steve and Gayle and Beth and I ate dinner at the Nevada on Friday nights quite a few times. As those who know him would easily understand, our conversations became increasingly intellectual after a couple of drinks.
Hopefully everybody who knew him liked him as much as I did. He deserved it.
