Jeffrey T. Parsons, 37, passed away Tuesday, July 22, 2025, after a brief and resilient battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jeff was an amazing husband, father, son, brother and friend. He was an avid K-State fan and sports lover. His skills at the grill were legendary as a rib cook-off winner multiple years in a row. He was also dedicated to helping others through his Church community as a Knight of Columbus, usher, and a member of Kapaun's Men. He loved being outdoors, hunting and fishing, and mowing the lawn in his cowboy boots. Jeff's true passion was spending quality time with his family and friends by coaching his children's sports teams and the special neighborhood driveway time.
Jeffrey is survived by his wife, Jessica Parsons and their four children, Brooke Pates, Jackson Parsons, Jordy Parsons, James Parsons; parents, Jerome "Jerry" and Kimberly Parsons; sister, Amber Rene (Steve) Baca; and brother, Jerod (Anne) Parsons along with many extended family members and friends.
