Gregory T. Parrett, 61, of Wabash, Indiana, died at 11:50 a.m., on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. He was born on March 29, 1964, in Wabash, to Terry and Bonnie (Whitehead) Parrett.
Greg graduated from Southwood High School in 1982. While in high school, he attended vocational school for auto body repair; he enjoyed it and was very good at it, making it his lifelong career. Greg worked at Tom Carroll's body shop, Wabash Valley Chrysler, and other area body shops. He enjoyed restoring his 1962 Ford Falcon and going to swap-meets and car shows. Greg also liked mushroom hunting, and music- he played the mandolin and guitar with his father.
