David Parnes Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
It is with great sadness and profound shock that we announce the passing of David W. Parnes on May 12, 2025.
David was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He lived his life with his heart on his sleeve and would give anyone the shirt off his back. His generosity knew no bounds, and his love for his family was beyond measure.
His warmth, selflessness, and unwavering devotion to those he loved will never be forgotten. His loss is deeply felt, but his legacy of love and kindness will live on in all who had the privilege to know him.
David is survived by his devoted wife, Pamela M. Parnes; his loving children, Brooke, and her husband Alfredo (Freddy) Ramirez, and Michael Parnes, and his wife Ashley Parnes; and his cherished grandchildren, Isabella (Izzy) Ramirez, Aiden Ramirez, Ava Parnes, and Parker Parnes. He also leaves behind his dear sister Pauline (Lena) Horn, and brother-in-law Abraham Horn; his treasured aunt, cousins, and many friends whose lives he touched deeply.
David was predeceased by his loving parents, Izio and Janina (Jane) Parnes, and his beloved niece, Jennifer Horn.
Services for David will be at 2 pm on Wednesday, May 14th, at the FREEHOLD HEBREW BENEFIT SOCIETY CEMETERY
164 Business Route 33, Freehold, NJ 07728
