Herbert D. Parrish

Herbert D. Parrish, age 65 formerly of New Sewickley Township passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at his residence in Freedom.

The son of the late Benjamin Franklin Parrish and Ruth Parrish, Herb was one of eight children. He was predeceased by his siblings Danny (Barb) Parrish, Gary (Rose) Parrish, and Linda Heath. He is survived by his devoted wife, Victoria Fleck Parrish, whom he married on February 20, 1999.

Herb's legacy continues through his beloved children: Jessica Parrish and her daughter Maddie Parrish, his son Matthew Parrish along with Matthew's children Xavier Sommerer, Noah Parrish, and Alora Parrish, and his daughter Emily Parrish (married to Brandon) and their son Levi Parrish. His life was further enriched by his brothers Alvin Parrish and Roy (Ellen) Parrish; his sisters Joni VanScoy and Joyce Parrish; and brother-in-law David Heath. Also mourning his loss are two very special lifelong friends, Michael Adams and Thomas Witherow, whose friendship provided immeasurable joy throughout his life.

Herb was a self-employed carpenter who took pride in his business, Parrish Contracting.

Raised in Independence Township, Herb's early life was filled with pleasures of the countryside. He had a lifelong love for fishing which led him to the serene lakes of Canada, where he spent many contented hours. In his younger days, he found solace in the quiet of the woods during deer hunting season.

Herb's connection with his beloved red tick Beagle, Buster, was more than that of a pet and owner. Buster was a loyal companion whose memory Herb cherished long after his passing.

Friends will be received on Saturday, August 9th from 2 – 4 PM and 6-8 PM at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, where services will be held on Sunday at 1 PM. with Tawan Merriweather, officiating.
