Jeffrey Parsons

Jeff Parsons was born on June 17, 1959 to Kay and Mary Lou Parsons. He grew up in Madison Heights and Dearborn where he wreaked havoc taking things apart to see how they worked and listening to loud music. In his youth he loved making mischief and tinkering with cars. He was married to Lisa (Serwatowski) for a time which brought him his daughter Rachel and was later married to Shannon (McGillis) which brought him his daughter Julie.
Jeff worked hard to provide for his family and loved his daughters deeply. He was a highly skilled robotics and welding guru who spent most of his career working in the Automotive Industry. In his younger years he was a very helpful neighbor who would fix cars, mow lawns and remove snow, never expecting anything in return. He had a lightness to his spirit and never lost his child like sense of wonder. Jeff lived life on his terms and was always authentic and accepting of others. His catch phrases, "Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean it won't be a good time" and "It's always better to ask for forgiveness than permission" sum up his approach to life perfectly.
Jeff is survived by his father Kay Parsons, sister Robin Julian (Dave), daughters Rachel Dillon (Liam) and Julie Plichota (Nick), beloved grandchildren Audrey, Madelyn, Bohdan, Lucas, Alida, and niece Elizabeth Denton. He is proceeded in death by his mother Mary Lou Parsons and brother Brock Parsons.
Jeff did not want a funeral, and his family has decided to honor his wishes. In Jeff's memory the family requests that you do something Jeff loved. Listen to some good music, eat a steak or cheeseburger, drink a glass of wine, watch a funny movie. Live a day like Jeff would have and remember his amazing soul with joy and a smile on your face. A celebration of life luncheon will be held at the iconic Miller's bar in Dearborn at a later date.
