Today I´m reminded of the feeling I felt when I heard the news of your passing a few years ago. I was extremely hurt, because this was a loss that I felt entirely.
I just want to say you are loved and missed. Having the honor to grow up with you and your brothers and look out for them brings back the early memories we shared. You and your siblings always showed me the latest dance moves. May your kind sweetheart Rest In Peace

My deepest sympathy to Shalon and Helen , I am so sorry for you loss. I've been going back when he was a young boy. The boys were alway respected me when I'd hollered out to them say , hi and where are you going. Never said anything bad always showed respect.

I can remember back when they to church and singing in the children's choir , the most welled behave children . We give them all that they need in growing and when that time comes they wanted to make their own choices , they sometimes will make wrong choices but we're still there.

Rest In Peace Parris you maybe gone but your present with the Lord.

God doesn't give us anymore then we can handle, but he's there when we need him . May God bless the family in this time of need.


God Bless

My sweet Paris,

I love you so much. I am so sorry that you will never have an opportunity to truly experience life. My heart is breaking into pieces thinking of the sadness your mom and stepdad and father have to endure. I pray that you shine your sweet light on us all.

All of my love, forever.

A younger Parris would come by my home to use the computer after playing some b-ball in Valania park. Often times I would run him home, put a few dollars in his pocket. I will miss You, knowing that you are no longer living among us.

God has so much love for you, Parris. So deeply saddened by your tragic death. Your Aunt Sandy.

Parris and his siblings played a influential part in my childhood to my late teenage years. The memories I have of Parris and his siblings is their love for dancing. Bright early in the morning he would be break dancing . Honestly being around them daily during childhood made me feel like I had extended siblings. I have many good memories of our childhood. My heart hurts knowing you are gone , & the pain your family is enduring. We all loved you Parris, rest in heaven.

I had the privilege of working with Parris at summer camp and in our young friend mentoring program. He was charming, charismatic and loved to flash that ear to ear smile. Parris was a natural leader and was fiercely loyal to his family, especially his brothers. It breaks my heart to see his life cut short way too soon. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Shalon and Chris and the rest of his family.

November 14, 2017

Shalon, Christopher and family...I'm so very sorry for the loss of Parris. No child should pass before their parents. I hope that time and fond memories help to mend the tremendous amount of pain your feeling. God Bless.
