Robert J. Parrish

Robert (Bob) Joseph Parrish age 52 of Monaca, PA passed away Tuesday June 17, 2025.
Bob was raised in the town of Monaca by his parents Wes Parrish Sr. and Mary Fedeles where
he attended the schools, participated in sports, and made lifelong friends in the tightly knit
community.
Following his 1990 graduation from Monaca High School, Bob attended Garfield Business
School. Prior to his health struggles, Bob was employed at Service Link in Moon Township.
A lifelong lover of most sports, Bob had a special place in his heart for basketball. Even with all
his health struggles Bob continued to amaze family and friends with his knowledge of sports
statistics or recalling classic matches, always with a twinkle and mischief in his baby blue eyes.
In Bob's memory, play a quick game of pickup basketball, shoot hoops, or take the time to watch
a basketball game.
Bob faced many health challenges in recent years, including complications from diabetes and a
stroke he suffered at the age of 40. Through it all, Bob was cared for lovingly and devotedly by
his father, Wes Parrish. A retired construction worker, Wes learned everything he needed to
know to care for Bob-amazing his doctors and nurses with his knowledge.
He leaves behind a lifetime of memories and love for his father Wes Parrish Sr & Nancy Parrish,
sister Carla Goe (Bill Bryan), brother Wes Parrish Jr, daughter Tara Parrish, very special nieces
Olivia (Isaac) Parrish Covert and Emma Parrish, sister in law Richelle Parrish, and several aunts,
uncles, and cousins. Bob is also survived by his stepfather Lee Fedeles and his daughters Lisa
(Jim) Denkovich and Krista (Dominick) Treemarchi and family.
Bob is no longer suffering. We take comfort in knowing he has been welcomed into heaven by
his mother, paternal grandparents Evelyn Parrish Robinson & Frank Parrish, maternal
grandparents Carl & Gertrude Beatty, and his aunt, several uncles, and cousins who passed
before him. Their arms are open, and their love surrounds him once again.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Simpson Funeral Home & Cremation Services located at
1119 Washington Avenue Monaca, PA 15061. Visitation will be Sunday June 22, 2025 from
2:00PM until 5:00PM. A funeral service will be held at the funeral home Monday June 23, 2025
at 11:00am followed by burial at St. John the Baptist Cemetery 1270 Chapel Road Monaca, PA

Bob will be missed more than words can express and remembered forever by all who had the
blessing of knowing him.
