Richard A. Parrott
May 15, 2021
Bradenton, Florida - Richard A. Parrott, 30, lost his heroic battle with Covid on April 15, 2021 while at Largo Medical Center. Richard was surrounded by family and close friends as he passed on into the arms of our Lord.
He was a lifetime resident of Bradenton, FL. He received his Associates Degree from the University of Phoenix and was employed with the School District of Manatee County, Sugg Middle School as Computer Lab Manager. Everyone who came in contact with Richard would be met with his beautiful smile and caring soul. He lit up a room and knew no stranger. He had a positive and lasting impact on so many people from students, colleagues, family, to a large circle of friends who are considered family. The sound of his laughter will echo through our hearts and lives forever. Richard loved fishing with his buddies, going to North Carolina, and any adventure that might pop up on the spur of the moment! A big Miami Hurricane fan, he lived his life to the fullest and we remind ourselves and others to "Live Like Richard". Out of respect for Richard, we ask you to please wear your Univ. of Miami shirts, Orange and Green, Fishing shirts, or just casual attire.
Richard is survived by his parents, Mike and Janine (Theobald) Parrott; brother, Michael (Shannon) of Kingsport, TN; his paternal grandparents, Frank (Sherry) Parrott, Beverly (Al) Zimmer of Bradenton, FL; uncles; Glenn (Kim) Theobald, Jeff (Sylvia) Parrott; aunt, Susie (Rob) Wood; great aunts, aunts and uncles, cousins and close friends he called family. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Raymond and Lee Theobald.
Visitation will be from 4:00-7:00PM Friday, May 7, 2021, with Services 11:00AM Saturday, May 8, 2021 at Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory 43rd Street Chapel, 604 43rd Street West, Bradenton, FL 34209. Services will be streamed on Facebook Live at https://www.facebook.com/brownandsonsfuneral. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Richard Parrott Go Fund Me account.

Deepest sympathies to the family that has lost a cherished son. I had worked with Mr. Parrot for just under 2 years and he was the most helpful person that was always able to offer assistance as well as patience. He was very friendly and always had a great attitude. I am blessed to have had a moment in time to get to know him as a coworker.

I only knew parrot from meeting few times at house party’s. Every time I would see him he always had a big smile on his face and a great mood in his heart. The world is truly a little less light without him here in it. I will always have the memories of the past camaraderie we shared. I truly feel blessed to have known him even in the small time I did.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am at the loss of this beautiful young man in the prime of his life. I will always remember Richard as a happy, smiling, joyful boy with a twinkle in his eye. However, I also know we do not mourn as those with no hope. I know that Richard is now smiling in heaven in the presence of Jesus and is surrounded by a cloud of witnesses that will embrace him for eternity. While our pain here is great, I know it is short compared to eternity. I am praying for comfort, peace, and faith for the family during this sorrowful time.

We have been next door neighbors of Janine & Mike for 21 years. We raised our families in this beautiful neighborhood. Richard was a happy boy who grew into an upstanding young man in the Bradenton community.
Our family is deeply saddened by the news of Richard’s passing. We wish his family blessings and strength.
Rest In Peace Richard.

I truly enjoyed being Richard's coworker at Sugg Middle. He was always so friendly and ready to help me with my computer issues and tech needs. I knew I could always count on him. He was clearly a happy person who enjoyed life, and I'm glad I was able to get to know him. We both worked in ESE in the past, and enjoyed talking about our experiences in that field. I am so sorry for this loss of a great person gone too soon. My heart goes out to your family and to Richard. He is loved and missed.

It is hard to imagine our school without the kind and gentle support given by our "Mr. Parrot." He was a model of patience, calm and generosity of spirit; the type of person you looked forward to working with. It is a rare and special person who helps others with thoughtful and genuine caring. He was that person and he was adored by all. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family.

Richard was a great colleague and friend and was always more than willing to go out of his way to help. He was almost always smiling, you could even tell through the mask. Richard will be missed greatly! My prayers go with your family my friend.

I am so sorry. I know what you’re going through and I’m feeling your pain. Please remember that you were able to have a wonderful 30 years where you got to be his parents. Now he’s off to sing another song, serve a new purpose. You will see him again! Look for signs. I Love You both.
