James (Hondo) Parry II Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 3, 2025.
Born 2nd child to James A Parry I and Joan E Hovey (Sloan), passed away from complications of liver cancer at the age of 69, in the home he was raised in. Though he put up a fight, he succumbed while held by those closest to him, surrounded by love.

His mother always said that he had the most generous heart and was the cutest little boy ever. James always spread that generosity wherever he went. From construction site to the homeless, he went out of his way to help others.

Love of the open road led him on many adventures with his true love, Harley Davidson motorcycles. He lived life on his terms with a storybook of adventures meant for the movies. He will be greatly missed within the biker community.

He was a gifted writer, leaving many beautiful thoughts as his memories. Those he left behind will never forget him.

James is survived by his Mother Joan E Sloan(Pete), Father James A Parry I, Sisters Robin(Dan) and Belynda(Dan); Daughters Tawny(Glen), Cameo(Andrew), Sophia, Candice; Son Odin(Jeri); 18 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and many nephews, nieces, family and friends.

Preceded by his wife of 21 years Laurie, Son Thor (Candis) and both sets of grandparents.

Special thanks and recognition to his sister Robin and daughter Tawny for their loving care while traversing his journey with cancer. Thank you to Riverton Oncology and Hospice.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August 9th 2025 from 4pm to 8pm at 806 E Emerald Dr Sandy, UT. Light refreshment will be provided.

In leiu of flowers, donations in memory of James aka Hondo can be made to the family or to Cancer prevention and research.
