Brad Parrott, 45, of Washington, passed away on March 27, 2025 in an auto accident with his father in Davidson Co., TN.
Brad was born April 18, 1979 in Peoria to William "Bill" and Shelly Schmitt Parrott. On November 27, 2013, he married Erin Fink in Peoria.
Surviving is his wife, Erin; his children, Baylee Parrott, Stella Kimble, Nova Parrott, and Tripp Parrott; his mom, Shelly Budd; his brother, Brock (Heather) Parrott; and his many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Brad was an encyclopedia of sports facts in addition to being a fan of the Cubs, Bulls, Miami Dolphins, Bradley Braves, and UT Vols. He loved supporting his kids and nephew in their sports, and was especially proud when the kids chose his old number, 13. In addition to joining his dad on Chetek, WI fishing trips, he worked with him for several years at MultiAd until joining Quality Metal Products in 2011; he also ran a lawn mowing business on the side to help support his family. He will be remembered for his love for his family, for his teams, and for the joy he found in simple things. Brad was also a member of Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church and put his faith in Jesus. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. -Psalm 73:26.
Family will receive friends from 3-7:00pm Friday, April 4, 2025 at Deiters Funeral Home and Crematory in Washington. Please wear apparel from one of his favorite teams. A service to honor his life will begin at 11:00am Saturday, April 5, 2025 at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in Peoria.
