Michael Parrott went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 21, 2025. Michael was born on Nouasseur Air Force Base Morocco, Africa, and was a lifelong resident of Northwest Florida. Michael was a devoted husband to the love of his life for over thirty years. Michael was an avid outdoorsman; he loved to hunt and fish, but most of all, he loved Jesus. His unshakable faith was something to behold. He was an employee of Kool Breeze for over thirty years. He was loved by all who knew him.
He is preceded in death by his father, Larry Parrott (Polly); his mother, Patricia Parrott; brother, Randy Parrott; sister, Kelly Parrott; mother-in-law, Gwen Cromer; father-in-law, Tim Epperson; and two uncles, Robert Vaivada and Eldon Morris.
Michael is survived by his loving wife, Amanda Parrott; his beloved partner in crime, Alicia O'Daniels, who brought him so much love, laughter and joy; sisters-in-law, Ashley Campbell (Daniel) of Alabama, Alyssa Epperson (Logan) of Iowa, and Averi Epperson (Will) of Iowa; brothers-in-law, Brad Cromer (Candace), and Vincent Epperson (Rachel); father-in-law, Donald Cromer; eighteen nieces and nephews; two aunts, Barbara Morris, and Rhondia Stanfield (Victor); one uncle, William Vaivada (Jeannie); and lifelong best friend, Craig Parker.
A memorial service will be held at Cluster Springs Baptist Church Saturday, June 28, 2025 beginning at 11:00 a.m. with Brother David Amason officiating. A time of visitation will be held one hour prior.
A special thank you to all of our Cluster Springs Family and Gentiva Hospice. Thank you to Kool Breeze of Northwest Florida, and Saltwater Steel Company for your understanding help, and kindness through all of this. Krissy and Jordan with Gentiva, we will never forget your kindness, compassion, and help!
Arrangements are under the direction of Davis-Watkins Funeral Home of DeFuniak Springs.
