Michael Anthony Parrino

Michael "Mike" Parrino Jr. known as "Parrino" to his friends died peacefully at the age of 74 on January 17, 2026. Born on January 24, 1951 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Raised in New Orleans and in Metairie. He never met a stranger, and could talk hours about his love of history, American wars, and the rich history of the city of New Orleans, especially the French "Quarters". Mike loved to cook and was a true reveler of culture, whether it be celebrating his Sicilian heritage or New Orleans Mardi Gras parades & traditions. He loved the racetrack, both for the horses and the Jazz Fest. Music truly fed his soul.
He was a proud brother of the IBEW Local 130 and remained active in the union even after retirement.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Michael Parrino Sr. and Lucille Danna Parrino. As well as several Aunts and Uncles including his beloved Aunt Josephine.
He is survived by his 3 children, Michael (Kelly), Nicholas (Rosie), and Katie (Dennis). As well as his 4 grandsons Shawn, Jackson, Lucas, and Nico.
