Howard Parrish Obituary
A native of Savannah, Georgia, Mr. Parrish was known for his warm spirit and dedication to those he served. He retired from Aramark at Savannah State University and also spent many years as a valued team member at the Crystal Beer Parlor, where he built lasting friendships and earned the respect of coworkers and patrons alike.
He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Mamie R. Parrish Dixon and Leo Parrish.
Howard leaves to cherish his memory: two brothers, Leo Rhodan Sr. and Charles K. Parrish; one sister, Anita Parrish Thomas (John); eight devoted nieces and nephews; a host of great-grand nieces and nephews, cousins, extended family, and dear friends. He will also be fondly remembered by Employer Mr. John Nichols and the staff of the Crystal Beer Parlor for his many years of friendship, loyalty, and service.
Howard's unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
A Graveside Service will be held at Magnolia Memorial Gardens Friday August 22, 2025 at 11:00 AM.
