Darrell Lee Parrish, age 62, of Rocky Face, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Born on March 20, 1963, in Chickamauga, Georgia, Darrell was the beloved son of the late Charles Edward Parrish and Ruth Augusta Pope. He spent many dedicated years working with K&J Pallets, where his hard work and quiet strength left a lasting impression.
Darrell found his greatest joy on the open road, riding his motorcycle with the wind at his back and freedom in his heart. His love for the ride reflected his spirit-independent, adventurous, and deeply connected to the simple pleasures of life.
He is survived by his devoted fiancée, Angela Quinn; his children, Joshua Parrish, John Parrish, and Cassey Parrish; his cherished granddaughter, Kailey Parrish; and grandsons, Titus Lowery and Gabriel Lowery. His family will remember him as a steady presence, a man of few words but deep love.
In accordance with Darrell's wishes, he will be cremated, and no services will be held at this time. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
